Question

To make 100g of jam you need 57g of strawberries, 17g of blackberries and the rest should be sugar.

What is the ratio of blackberries to sugar?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

1. We have to find the mass of sugar in 100g of jam: 100 - (57 + 17) = 26g of sugar

2. Now, we can write the ratio of blackberries to sugar as 17:26. This can’t be simplified

Answer = 17:26
