Answer 1

To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies, we first need to calculate the total number of candies.

Niko has:

• 10 strawberry candies
• 13 butterscotch candies
• 7 root beer candies

Total number of candies = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30

Now, the ratio of strawberry candies to the total number of candies is:

10 (strawberry candies) : 30 (total candies)

This can be written as:

10:30

So the correct response is 10:30.
