Question

There are a total of 60 plastic blocks . Three out of every 5 blocks are red. Is it reasonable for Briana to think there are enough blocks to make a design that uses 32 red blocks

Answer 1

See Below

Explanation:

3 out of 5 of the 60 total blocks are red, that means every 3 of 5 random we take would be RED.

That is 3/5ths of 60 are red. We multiply and figure out.

`(3)/(5)*60=36`

So we can say there are 36 red blocks from the total 60 Blocks.

Briana needs to make a design that uses 32 RED BLOCKS. Are there enough??

Yes of course, because 36 > 32

So, it is reasonable for Briana to think there are enough blocks to make her design.
