Of course!

Meg is working on word problems in 1st grade math.

One series of questions involved a boy with the option of two different bookcases upon which to display his cars....a red one or a blue one. She correctly figured out that the red one with 5 shelves (fits 5 cars on each shelf) can hold 25 cars, and the blue one with 7 shelves (fits 3 cars on each shelf) can hold 21 cars. Way to go!

The last part of the problem then asks, "Which bookcase do you think Jake should buy? Red or Blue?"

To which she replied, "Blue."

Why?

"Because bluw is the culr of the oshen."
