(a)Aldo makes fruit salad using a ratio of 2 blueberries to 6 strawberries. Give two different unit rates using this relationship.
How many blueberries are needed if 15 strawberries are used?
__blueberries
Two different unit rates using the given ratio are:
- 1 blueberry for every 3 strawberries
- 1/3 blueberry for every strawberry
If 15 strawberries are used, then the number of blueberries needed can be found by using the unit rate of 1 blueberry for every 3 strawberries.
15 strawberries ÷ 3 = 5 blueberries
Therefore, 5 blueberries are needed if 15 strawberries are used.
