Answer 1

The correct answer is 6; 16. For every 4 blue crayons, there are 3 white ones. Therefore, if there are 8 blue crayons, there would be 6 white crayons (8 divided by 4 equals 2, and 2 multiplied by 3 equals 6). If there are 12 white crayons, there would be 16 blue crayons (12 divided by 3 equals 4, and 4 multiplied by 4 equals 16).
