Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Ann, Ben, and Cindy were eating strawberries.
The ratio of the numbers of berries they ate is 5:5:7.
If Cindy ate 30 strawberries less than Ann and Ben together,
find:
what is the total number of strawberries the three of them ate?
solution:
add the ratios 5 + 5 + 7 = 17
since Cindy ate 30, less than Ann and Ben together so, the equation is
7x = 5x + 5x - 30
7x - 10x = -30
x = 30/3
x = 10
ann 5 x 10 = 50
ben 5 x 10 = 50
cindy 7 x 10 = 70
total = 170
8/14 in lowest terms is 4/7
