Based on the given information, we can determine that the ratio of blueberries to strawberries in a fruit bowl is 3 to 1.
Let's assume the number of blueberries is represented by "3x" and the number of strawberries is represented by "x".
Therefore, the number of blueberries in the fruit bowl is 3x, and the number of strawberries is x.
Since there are sixteen berries in total, we can write the equation: 3x + x = 16.
Combining like terms, we have 4x = 16.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4: x = 16/4 = 4.
So, the number value to be inserted in each rectangle is 4.
There are sixteen berries in a fruit bowl. The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 3 to 1. What value should be inserted into each rectangle?
The number should be inserted into each rectangle.
