Joy will need to use 9 cups of strawberries for 6 cups of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cups of blueberries used for 3 cups of strawberry = 2

Ratio of cups of blueberry to strawberry = 2:3

Joy wants to use 6 cups of blueberries.

Let,

x be the cups of strawberry for 6 cups of blueberries.

Ratio of cups of blueberries to strawberries = 6:x

Using proportion;

Ratio of cups of blueberry to strawberry :: Ratio of cups of blueberries to strawberries

2:3::6:x

Product of extreme = Product of mean

2*x=3*6\\2x=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\x=9

Joy will need to use 9 cups of strawberries for 6 cups of blueberries.
