Problema Solution

Christina made 4 stacks of wooden blocks. The first stack was 6 blocks tall. The second stack was 8 blocks taller than the first. The third stack was 8 blocks shorter than the second stack, and the last stack was 8 blocks taller than the third stack. How many blocks did Christina use in all?

Answer provided by our tutors

First stack: 6 blocks

Second stack: 6 + 8 = 14 blocks

Third stack: 14 - 8 = 6 blocks

Forth stack: 6 + 8 = 14 blocks

6 + 14 + 6 + 14 = 40 blocks

Christina used 40 blocks in all.
