Answer:

440 times

Explanation:

First, you need to find the total number of cubes each student receives (25)

Now you put it into a ratio of blue cubes to the total number of cubes

11 : 25

After that you make another ratio and solve for x

x : 1000

25x = 11000

x = 440

Answer:

440 blue cubes

Explanation:

We can put it in a ratio of 9:5:11. Add those up we get 25. Then we do 1000/25 which if 40. So each number in the ratio equals 40. Then we do 11*40 and we get 440.
