Question

(a)Aldo makes fruit salad using a ratio of blueberries to strawberries. Give two different unit rates using this relationship.

One unit rate:


strawberries
for each
blueberry
Another unit rate:

(Choose one)
for each
(Choose one)

(b)How many blueberries are needed if 15 strawberries are used?

Answer 1

(a) One unit rate: strawberries for each blueberry
Another unit rate: blueberries for each strawberry

(b) To find the number of blueberries needed, we can set up a proportion using the ratio from part (a):

strawberries/blueberries = 15/x

Cross-multiplying, we get:

strawberries * x = 15 * blueberries

Simplifying further:

x = (15 * blueberries) / strawberries
