To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candies to the total number of candies Niko owns, we need to compare the number of strawberry candies to the sum of the numbers of all three flavors.
The total number of candies Niko owns is 10 + 13 + 7 = 30 candies.
Therefore, the ratio of the strawberry-flavored candies to the total number of candies is 10:30, or the ratio of 10 to 30.
To find the ratio of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns, we need to determine the total number of candies first.
