Final answer:

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.
