Answer 1

27 ounces of strawberry

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of strawberry needed.

We can go ahead and solve for x by setting up proportions as follows;

`\begin{gathered} 3\text{ ounces of strawberry}\rightarrow(1)/(3)\text{ cups of blackberry} \\ x\rightarrow3\text{ cups of blackberry} \\ (x)/(3)=3*3 \\ x=9*3 \\ x=27\text{ ounces of strawberry} \end{gathered}`
