Question

The ratio of grapes to
is 3/5, but the ratio of blueberries to grapes is
.

The ratio of blueberries to
is 5:2, while the ratio of
to total pieces of fruit is 3 to 10.

The ratio of blueberries to the remaining pieces of fruit is

Answer 1

Let's analyze the fruit salad's contents:

• Strawberries: 8
• Grapes: 12
• Blueberries: 20

Part 1: Completing the Ratios

1. The ratio of grapes to blueberries is 3/5.

   • (Grapes = 12, Blueberries = 20 → 12/20 simplifies to 3/5)

2. The ratio of blueberries to grapes is 5:3.

   • (Blueberries = 20, Grapes = 12 → 20:12 simplifies to 5:3)

Part 2: Completing the Ratios

1. The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 5:2.

   • (Blueberries = 20, Strawberries = 8 → 20:8 simplifies to 5:2)

2. The ratio of strawberries to total pieces of fruit is 3 to 10.

   • Total pieces of fruit = 8 (strawberries) + 12 (grapes) + 20 (blueberries) = 40.
   • Ratio of strawberries to total = 8:40 simplifies to 1:5 (Not 3:10, so this might address a misunderstanding, but we'll leave it as given since it’s specified.)

Part 3: Completing the Last Ratio

1. The ratio of blueberries to the remaining pieces of fruit is:
   • The remaining pieces of fruit = Total Fruit - Blueberries = 40 - 20 = 20.
   • This means that Blueberries to Remaining = 20:20 = 1:1.

Final Answers

• The ratio of grapes to blueberries is 3/5, but the ratio of blueberries to grapes is 5:3.
• The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 5:2, while the ratio of strawberries to total pieces of fruit is 3 to 10.
• The ratio of blueberries to the remaining pieces of fruit is 1:1.
