Question

To make 100g of jam you need 41g of strawberries, 13g of blackberries and the rest should be sugar. What is the ratio of blackberries to sugar? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is -

13:46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of blackberries to sugar

Follow certain important rules

Total Jam to be made is 100g [Given]

41g of strawberries needed [Given]

13g of blackberries needed [Given]

First, find the amount of sugar should be used

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

To make 100g of jam you need 41g of strawberries, 13g of blackberries and THE REST SHOULD BE SUGAR.

So,

The amount of sugar = total jam - (amount of strawberries needed + amount of blackberries needed)

The amount of sugar = 100 - (41 + 13)

                                    = 100 - (54)

The amount of sugar = 46g

As we have to find the ratio of blackberries to sugar

So,

Amount of blackberries needed = 13g

Amount of sugar needed = 46g

Now, the ratio of blackberries to sugar is :-

Amount of blackberries needed : Amount of sugar needed

13:46 or 13/46
