Give your answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 51g : 26g

Explanation:

First, we need to find out what "the rest" is, since that is sugar. We will subtract the grams of strawberries and blackberries from the total grams of sugar.

100g - 23g - 51g = 26 g

Now, the ratio asks for blackberries to sugar.

Blackberries : Sugar

51g : 26g

Lastly, it asks for the simplest form. This ratio is already in the simplest form.

51g : 26g
