There are 8 states that begin with the letter m, so it would be 8/5 which = .16

List of U.S states that start with M:

1.Maine
2.Maryland
3.Massachusetts
4.Michigan
5.Minnesota
6.Mississippi
7.Missouri
8.Montana

There are 8 states that start with the letter "M".
There are 50 states so the probability/ratio is 8:50 or \frac{8}{50}

But to reduce to lowest terms, you need to find a common factor. 
2 is a common factor. 

Divide both sides by 2. 8÷2=4 and 50÷2=25

It is 4:25 which is also \frac{4}{25}

If you want the percentage instead of the ratio, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number)

4 ÷ 25=.16

Multiply by 100 and you get 16 which is equivalent to 16%

Answer: 

4:25 (ratio/probability)
or
16% (percentage)

Answer:

120 blocks total

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the little cubes have side length 2"  Thus, the 11" height of the box cannot be used entirely:  we waste the top 1" because the five layers of little cubes reach only to 10" from the bottom.

Start at the bottom of the box.  The dimensions of the bottom are 12" by 8".  Along the longer side we can lay 6 blocks (which add up to 12" and are 2" wide.  We can add 3 more such rows to fill the available 8" width of the box bottom.  That's 6*4, or 24 blocks.

We can add 4 more 6 block by 4 block layers before we have the maximum 5 layers stacked in the box.

5 layers times 24 blocks per layer comes to 120 blocks total.
