Answer:
24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high
Explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve the question
∵ Charlie knows that 3 blocks are needed to make a tower that is
0.5 foot high
∵ He needs to make a tower that is 4 feet high
→ By using the ratio method
→ Blocks : height (ft)
→ 3 : 0.5
→ x : 4
→ By using the cross multiplication
∵ x × 0.5 = 3 × 4
∴ 0.5x = 12
→ Divide both sides by 0.5 to find x
∵
=
∴ x = 24
∵ x represents the number of blocks
∴ 24 blocks will be needed to make the tower that is 4 feet high
