Ryan packed 2 crates, 5 boxes, and 4 stacks. Then he packed 1 crate, 15 boxes, and 4 stacks. Are the number of blocks in each order equal? Explain.
Question
Answer:
First Scenario:
2 crates
5 boxes
4 stacks
Total blocks in the first scenario = 2 (crates) + 5 (boxes) + 4 (stacks)
Second Scenario:
1 crate
15 boxes
4 stacks
Total blocks in the second scenario = 1 (crate) + 15 (boxes) + 4 (stacks)
Now, let's calculate the total number of blocks for each scenario.
First Scenario:
Total blocks = 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 blocks
Second Scenario:
Total blocks = 1 + 15 + 4 = 20 blocks
Since 20 (the total blocks in the second scenario) is not equal to 11 (the total blocks in the first scenario), the number of blocks in each order is not equal.
In this case, the number of blocks in the second scenario is greater than the number of blocks in the first scenario. Therefore, the two orders do not have the same number of blocks.
