Answer:

If you have 10 berries and want to divide them in a 2:3 ratio, you would have 4 berries in the first part and 6 berries in the second part.

Explanation:

The ratio of 2 to 3 means that for every 2 parts of one thing, there are 3 parts of another. If you have 10 berries and want to divide them in a 2:3 ratio, you would divide the total number of berries (10) by the sum of the parts in the ratio (2+3=5).

So,


(10)/(5) = 2

This means each part in the ratio represents 2 berries. Therefore, in a 2:3 ratio:

  • The first part (2) would represent 2×2=4 berries

  • The second part (3) would represent 3×2=6 berries

So, if you have 10 berries and want to divide them in a 2:3 ratio, you would have 4 berries in the first part and 6 berries in the second part.
