Niko has a jar of candy containing strawberry, butterscotch, and root beer flavors. If there are 10 strawberry, 13 butterscotch, and 7 root beer candies, which ratio shows the quantity of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns?
Options:
10 : 13
7 : 30
10 : 30
13 : 30
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 quantity of strawberry candies to the sum of all the candies.
The quantity of strawberry-flavored candy is 10.
The total number of candies Niko owns is 10 + 13 + 7 = 30.
Therefore, the ratio of the quantity of strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is 10 : 30.
So, the correct ratio 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 sum of all the candies.
The total number of candies Niko owns is given by adding the quantities of the strawberry, butterscotch, and root beer candies together.
Total number of candies = 10 + 13 + 7 = 30
Now, we can compare the number of strawberry candies to the total number of candies to find the ratio.
Number of strawberry candies : Total number of candies = 10 : 30
Therefore, the ratio that shows the quantity of the strawberry-flavored candy to the total number of candies Niko owns is 10 : 30.
The correct option is 10 : 30.
