The ratio that shows the quantity of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is C. 10:30.
are uu sure that is right
To find the ratio of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies, we need to divide the number of strawberry candies by the total number of candies.
The total number of candies Niko owns is the sum of strawberry, butterscotch, and root beer candies: 10 + 13 + 7 = 30.
Now let's calculate the ratio of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies:
Strawberry-flavored candy : Total number of candies = 10 : 30.
Therefore, the ratio that shows the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is C. 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.
To get the total number of candies, we sum up the quantity of each flavor:
10 (strawberry) + 13 (butterscotch) + 7 (root beer) = 30 candies
Now, we can determine the ratio:
Strawberry candies : total candies
10 : 30
Simplifying this ratio, we divide both sides by 10:
1 : 3
Therefore, the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies is 1:3.
Looking at the available options:
A. 13:30
B. 7:30
C. 10:30
D. 10:13
The correct answer is C. 10:30.
