Question

Mackenzie picked 20 strawberries, 5 blueberries, and 15 raspberries. What was the ratio of the number of strawberries to the total number of berries she picked?

Answer 1

20:40

Explanation:

Because part of the ratio is the total number of berries, we need to add up all of the berries.

20+15+5=40

The number of strawberries picked is 20, so the ratio is 20:40
