A rectangular pyramid and a rectangular prism have the same base measurements and
height measurements. If the volume of the prism is 30 cubic inches,
what is the volume of the pyramid? To check if you answer is
reasonable, think about which shape is bigger.

9514 1404 393

  10 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of of a prism is 3 times the volume of a pyramid with the same base area and height.

  pyramid volume = 1/3(prism volume)

  pyramid volume = (1/3)(30 in³) = 10 in³

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
