To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candies to the total number of candies, we first need to calculate the total number of candies.

The total number of candies is:

  • Strawberry: 10
  • Butterscotch: 13
  • Root Beer: 7

Total = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30

Now we have 10 strawberry candies and 30 total candies. The ratio of strawberry candies to total candies is:

10:30

Therefore, the correct response is:

10:30 (ratio of 10 to 30).
