Complete the parts below. Write your answers as whole numbers or fractions in simplest form.
(a)Aldo makes fruit salad using a ratio of blueberries to strawberries. Give two different unit rates using this relationship.
One unit rate:
strawberries
for each
blueberry
Another unit rate:
(Choose one)
for each
(Choose one)
(b)How many blueberries are needed if 15 strawberries are used?
(a) One unit rate: strawberries for each blueberry
Another unit rate: blueberries for each strawberry
(b) To find the number of blueberries needed, we can set up a proportion using the ratio from part (a):
strawberries/blueberries = 15/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
strawberries * x = 15 * blueberries
Simplifying further:
x = (15 * blueberries) / strawberries
