Question

there is 54 g of fruits in a smoothie. If the ratio of strawberry and blueberry in the smoothie is 5:4, how much of each fruit is there in the smoothie?

Answer 1

• strawberry: 30 g
• blueberry: 24 g

Explanation:

The total number of ratio units is 5+4 = 9, so each of them represents ...

(54 g)/9 = 6 g

of fruit. Multiplying the ratio by this value shows you the amount of each kind of fruit:

strawberry : blueberry = 5 : 4 = 5(6 g) : 4(6 g)

strawberry : blueberry = 30 g : 24 g

There are 30 g of strawberry and 24 g of blueberry in the smoothie.
