The Reiter family uses three different-sized scoops to serve mashed potatoes : blobs, globs and gobs (these names are so weird a
ren't they). 2 blobs are equal to 1 glob, and 5 globs equal 3 gobs of mashed potatoes. A bowl holds 12 gobs of potatoes. How many blobs are there in the bowl? RATIO PROBLEM!!! DUH, DUH, DUHHHHHHH.
If the bowl can hold 12 gobs, then we can multiply the 5:3 ratio by 4, to make solving easier. We get the ratio 15:12 and then we need to multiply the 2:1 ratio by 15 to get the answer 30 blobs
first you can do 144 multiplied by 5 because that would be 15 of those seconds next you would do 144 divided by 2 because you only need 2 seconds to reach 17 your answer would be 72 then you would do 720+72=792 so it would fall 792ft in 17 seconds
