Answer:
100 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of blocks built by Gage.
We have been given that Colton was 5 times as fast at building the castle than Gage, so number of blocks built by Colton would be [tex]5x[/tex].
We are also told that it takes 120 blocks to build the castle. Since Colton and Gage were building a castle together, so number of blocks built by both will be equal to 120.
[tex]x+5x=120[/tex]
[tex]6x=120[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{120}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x=20[/tex]
Number of blocks built by Colton: [tex]5x=5\cdot 20=100[/tex].
Therefore, Colton had build 100 blocks.
