The Reiter family uses three different-sized scoops to serve mashed potatoes : blobs, globs and gobs (these names are so weird aren'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, DU.

30 blobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios are:

2 blobs: 1 glob

5 globs: 3 gobs

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
