We can set up a proportion.

10/8 and 4/8 = x/12 and y/12

We can divide 10 by 8 and get 1.25 strawberries per serving of fruit salad. Now we can multiply our number by 12 to get the proper amount that she needs.

1.25*12= 15

Now we can divide 4 by 8, which will give us 0.5
Now we can multiply 0.5 by 12 to find how much oranges she needs.

0.5*12= 6

We have how much we need .

6 oranges needed per 12 servings
15 strawberries per 12 servings
