Abowl contains blueberries and strawberries. there are a total of 16 berries in the bowl. the ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 3: 1. how many of each berry are in the bowl?

there are 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries in the bowl

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of blueberries and strawberries contained in the bowl is 16. The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 3:1

Total ratio will be sum of the proportion the blueberries to the proportion of strawberries.

Total ratio = 3+1 = 4

To determine how many of each berry are in the bowl,

Number of blueberries in the bowl will be

(Proportion of blueberries / total ratio ) × 100

This becomes

3/4 × 16 = 12 blueberries

Number of strawberries in the bowl will be

(Proportion of strawberries / total ratio ) × 100

This becomes

1/4 × 16 = 4 strawberries

it's both, now can you answer my most recent question?
