Problem number 10. There are 24 squares in the picture. Aaron colored some of the squares. How many more squares does he need to color so that half of the squares are colored?  So here's a rectangle.  And we see that there are some squares that are colored. There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine squares that are colored.  Aaron wants to have half of the squares colored.  If there are 24 squares,  that means he wants to color half of 24, which is 12.  Since there are nine colored squares,  Aaron needs to color three more to make 12 because nine plus three is 12. Or 12 minus nine is three.  The answer is C, three.

Video Summary

The problem involves coloring squares in a rectangle with a total of 24 squares. Aaron has already colored 9 squares and wants to have half of the squares colored. Since half of 24 is 12, Aaron needs to color a total of 12 squares. Therefore, he needs to color 3 more squares (since 12 minus 9 equals 3) to reach the required number. The answer is 3 more squares.
