the ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 1:7. If there are 210 strawberries, how many blueberries are there?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio 1:7 is just like the fraction 1/7

the ratio of 1:7 must be the same as the ratio of x:210 with x being blueberries

1/7 = x/210 is a way to solve this equation

to solve this we can divide multiply the top and bottom of 1/7 by 30

1/7 * 30/30 = 30/210

this is your answer

30 blueberries
