Question

To make 100g of jam you need 41g of strawberries, 29g 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 ratio is 29:30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the mass of sugar in the mix

That would be 100-41-29 = 100-70 = 30g

So the ratio of blackberry to sugar would be mass of the blackberry : mass of sugar

From the question, mass of blackberry = 29g while the mass of sugar = 30g

Mass of blackberry to mass of sugar = 29:30
