Question

MP Construct Arguments Raul finds a way to divide

48 building blocks into 6 equal groups. Jerry finds a
way to divide 48 building blocks into 8 equal groups.
Whose way has the greater number of building blocks
in each group? Explain.

Answer 1

Raul's way has a greater number of building blocks in each group compared to Jerry's way.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the number of building blocks in each group, we can divide the total number of building blocks by the number of groups. For Raul, dividing 48 building blocks by 6 groups will result in 8 building blocks in each group. For Jerry, dividing 48 building blocks by 8 groups will result in 6 building blocks in each group.

Therefore, Raul's way has a greater number of building blocks in each group compared to Jerry's way.

Answer 2

Raul

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 8 groups of building blocks has a smaller amount than 6 equal groups of building blocks, so Raul has more blocks in each group
