,

000

small building blocks. He decided to share them with his cousin, Tia. He gave Tia

\frac{1}{4}

of the blocks. How many blocks did he keep?

Calculate Tia's blocks: Find out how many blocks Tia got by calculating $(\frac{1}{4})$ of $2000$ . $\frac{1}{4} \times 2000 = 500$ blocks for Tia.
Find Brian's blocks: Subtract the number of blocks Tia got from the total to find out how many Brian kept. $2000 - 500 = 1500$ blocks Brian kept.
