To determine the number of blueberries and strawberries in the fruit bowl, we need to divide the berries into four equal parts (3 + 1 = 4 parts for the ratio).
Each part represents four berries (16 berries / 4 parts = 4 berries per part).
Therefore, the number of blueberries is 3 parts * 4 berries per part = <<3*4=12>>12.
And the number of strawberries is 1 part * 4 berries per part = <<1*4=4>>4.
So, the value that should be inserted into each rectangle is 12 for the blueberries and 4 for the strawberries.
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?
