The ratio that shows the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is 10:30.
To find the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns, we need to compare the number of strawberry candies to the total number of candies.
First, let's calculate the total number of candies Niko owns by adding the quantities of each flavor:
Total number of candies = 10 (strawberry) + 13 (butterscotch) + 7 (root beer) = 30 candies
Now, we can compare the number of strawberry candies to the total number of candies:
Ratio of strawberry candies to the total number of candies = 10 (strawberry) : 30 (total) = 10:30
Therefore, the correct ratio is 10:30, which represents the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns.
