a) To find the ratio of berries to grapes in simplest form, we need to find the greatest common factor of 56 and 64, which is 8.
This means the ratio of berries to grapes in simplest form is 7:8.
b) The total number of fruits in the fruit bowl is 56 grapes + 64 berries = 120 fruits.
The number of grapes as a fraction of the total number of fruits is 56/120 = 14/30 = 7/15 in simplest form.
c) The number of berries as a percentage of the total number of fruits is (64/120) * 100% = 53.33%. So to the nearest whole number, the percentage of berries is 53%.
There are 56 grapes and 64 berries in a fruit bowl.
a) Write the ratio berries : grapes in simplest form
b) Write the number of grapes as a fraction of the total number of fruits, in simplest form
