The correct equivalent ratio of red blocks to green blocks is 15:18.
This can be found by reducing the ratio of 5 blocks red to 8 blocks green to its simplest form, which is 15:24. Since both numbers are divisible by 3, we can divide them both by 3 to get 5:8. Then, we can multiply both numbers by 3 to get a more manageable ratio, which is 15:24. Finally, we can simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by 3 again to get the equivalent ratio of 5:8, which simplifies further to 15:24 and ultimately to 15:18.
In her art class, Mary colored blocks for her project. For every 5 blocks she colored red, she colored 8 blocks green.
