Question

5. Ali made some herbal tea using strawberries and raspberries in the ratio 3:5. a. If he used 240 g of strawberries, how many raspberries would he need? b. If he used 800 g Of raspberries how many strawberries would he need?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 400  b. 480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

   strawberry used = 240g

   strawberries:raspberries = 3:5

    FIND,

a.  raspberries used

            so, let 3:5 be 3x and 5x

                           if,

                                3x = 240

                           then, x = 240/3=80

     So,

            Raspberries used = 5x = 5*80 = 400

b. IF 800g of raspberries is used how many strawberries are used

               

                       So,

                             5x = 400

                            2(5x) = 800 [ 400*2=800]

                            10x = 800

So,

                   3x:5x = 240:400

           therefore,

                             2(3x):2(5x)= 480:800
