Question

If you have 70 red blocks and 84 green blocks how many block stacks can you make with out having any left over?

Answer 1

14 stacks

Explanation:

Given :

There are 70 red colored blocks

There are 84 green colored blocks

The ratio of green blocks to red blocks is
`$84/70 = 1.2$`

Therefore, the ratio of g : b = 1.2 : 1

or g : b = 6 : 5

Therefore, in order to calculate the number of stacks , we divide 84 by 6 and we get 14.

So we will get 14 block stacks to be made of 6 green blocks and 5 red blocks.
