Answer 1

To find the ratio of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies, you need to first determine the total number of candies in the jar.

Here is the breakdown:

• Strawberry candies: 10
• Butterscotch candies: 13
• Root beer candies: 7

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

Now, the ratio of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies is:

10 (strawberry) : 30 (total).

Thus, the correct response is:

10:30 (ratio of 10 to 30).
