A. 10:13

B. 13:30

C. 7:30

D. 10:30

Answer 1

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

Total candies = Strawberry candies + Butterscotch candies + Root beer candies
Total candies = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30

Now, the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy is 10. Thus, the ratio of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies is:

Strawberry : Total = 10 : 30

So the correct response is:

D. 10:30
