1 answer

To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies, we first need to determine the total amount of candies Niko has.

  • Number of strawberry candies = 10
  • Number of butterscotch candies = 13
  • Number of root beer candies = 7

Total number of candies = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30

Now, we want the ratio of strawberry candies to the total number of candies:

Ratio = Number of strawberry candies : Total number of candies Ratio = 10 : 30

Thus, the correct ratio showing the quantity of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is:

10 : 30
