To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies, follow these steps:
-
Count the total number of candies:
- Strawberry: 10
- Butterscotch: 13
- Root Beer: 7
Total = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30
-
Set up the ratio: The ratio of strawberry candies to the total number of candies is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Strawberry Candies}}{\text{Total Number of Candies}} = \frac{10}{30} \]
-
Simplify the ratio: \(\frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}\)
Thus, the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies is 1:3.
