The first unit rate we can find is the ratio of blueberries to strawberries, which is 2 blueberries for every 6 strawberries. Simplifying this ratio, we can say that for every 3 strawberries, there is 1 blueberry. So, the unit rate is 1 blueberry for every 3 strawberries.
The second unit rate we can find is the ratio of strawberries to blueberries, which is 6 strawberries for every 2 blueberries. Simplifying this ratio, we can say that for every 1 blueberry, there are 3 strawberries. So, the unit rate is 3 strawberries for every 1 blueberry.
If fifteen strawberries are used, we can use the first unit rate to find how many blueberries are needed. Since the unit rate is 1 blueberry for every 3 strawberries, we can divide 15 strawberries by 3 to find the number of blueberries needed.
15 strawberries รท 3 strawberries/blueberry = 5 blueberries
Therefore, if fifteen strawberries are used, 5 blueberries are needed.
Lina makes fruit salad using a ratio of 2 blueberries and 6 strawberries. Give 2 different unit rates using this relationship. How many blueberries are needed if fifteen strawberries are used
