Answer:

12:19

Explanation:

To create a ratio, we compare a portion to a whole. In this case our portion is 12 strawberries. Our whole is the total fruit, so let's add up each fruit to find the total.

12 + 3 + 4 = 19

Now we have our portion (12) and our total (19).

Let's create a ratio.

12:19

This ratio cannot be simplified further, so that is your answer.

Hope this helps!
