Hold to unpack

We only have {{state.problem.n1 * state.problem.mult1}} pieces, but need to subtract {{state.problem.n2 * state.problem.mult2}}.
Press and hold a whole block to unpack it!

1 whole = {{state.problem.lcm}} pieces

Drag to subtract

Remove {{state.problem.w2}} wholes and {{state.problem.n2 * state.problem.mult2}} pieces.
