Question

Phillip has 3 blue blocks. His friend Jake gives him 5 red blocks and 7 blue blocks. What is the ratio from red to blue blocks.

Answer 1

Phillip has 3 blue blocks, and Jake gives him 7 blue blocks. Therefore, Phillip has a total of 3 + 7 = 10 blue blocks.

The ratio of red to blue blocks is 5:10 or simplified as 1:2.

So for every one red block, Phillip has two blue blocks.
