Answer:
21 I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x 5 = 15
15 + 1 = 16
because its one for every three blueberry then there are 5 strawberries and 16 blueberries so 5 + 16 = 21
Answer: there are 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries in the bowl
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of blueberries and strawberries contained in the bowl is 16. The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 3:1
Total ratio will be sum of the proportion the blueberries to the proportion of strawberries.
Total ratio = 3+1 = 4
To determine how many of each berry are in the bowl,
Number of blueberries in the bowl will be
(Proportion of blueberries / total ratio ) × 100
This becomes
3/4 × 16 = 12 blueberries
Number of strawberries in the bowl will be
(Proportion of strawberries / total ratio ) × 100
This becomes
1/4 × 16 = 4 strawberries
