Answer 1

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

• Strawberry candies: 10
• Butterscotch candies: 13
• Root beer candies: 7

Total number of candies = 10 (strawberry) + 13 (butterscotch) + 7 (root beer) = 30

Now we can form the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies:

Ratio of strawberry to total = 10 (strawberry) : 30 (total)

So the correct ratio showing the quantity of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies is:

10:30
