Give your answer in its simplest
form​

Answer 1

The ratio of blackberries to sugar is 13 : 56 or 13/56, which is already in the in the simplest form.

Explanation:

As we have to make 100g of jam

so

• Amount of strawberries = 57g

• Amount of blackberries = 13g

Thus

The amount of sugar needs to be added to the mixture: 100 - (57 - 13) = 56g

Therefore, the ratio of blackberries to sugar is 13 : 56 or 13/56, which is already in the in the simplest form.
