Mystery talk! share with your parents the math mystery you had to solve today.
Math challenge problem: As many of you know, Mr. K is a world renowned ribbon collector because there are few things in this world cooler than a ribbon. String is cool, too, but ribbons are just incredible. So naturally, Mr. K has a ribbon bag called Bag P (Most 48 year old math teachers have some kind of ribbon bag.), and inside are 36 ribbons! Hard to believe, but hold on. 2/3 of the ribbons in Bag P are....(suspense building)....RED! Now don't pass out from excitement, but Mr. K also has another bag of ribbons called...Bag Q, and it has 60 ribbons (Now you know why he is world-renowned.)! Hold on now because 5/12 of the ribbons in Bag Q are...RED! So which bag has more red ribbons, and how much more than the other bag?
