Give your answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

The answer is 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the amount of coca bottles is "a"

Then the amount of smarties, he picked is "3a"

Now he picked twice as mashrooms as smarties. So the amount of smarties becomes = 2x(3c) =6c

Now , in order to find out the proportion of coca bottles, we have

a/(a+3a+6a) = a/10a

This gives the proportion of coca bottles as 1/10
