ANOTHER QUESTION:

Question: There are a total of 60 plastic blocks. Three out of every 5 blocks are red. It is reasonable for Briana to think there are enough red blocks to make a design that uses 32 red blocks? Explain your reasoning. THANK YOU GUYS

if there are 3 red blocks for every 5 blocks
if we multiple both numbers by 12 to make every 60 blocks we get:
36 red blocks every 60 blocks
since you have 36 and you only need 32 then yes you will have enough
