Since 12 is 8 x 1 1/2 she needs 1 1/2 time as much fruit.
1 1/2 x 10 = 15 strawberries and 1 1/2 x 4 = 6 oranges.
You could also solve this using proportions:
Cross multiply and get 8n= 120 divide by 8 and get 15 strawberries
Do the same for the oranges:
You can see that 4/8 = 1/2 so n/12 has to be 6 to be 1/2 (or solve it using cross products like I did above).
1 1/2 x 10 = 15 strawberries and 1 1/2 x 4 = 6 oranges.

The cost of each vegetable is €1.50 per pound
Edward bought 3.25 pounds of carrot.
So the cost of 3.25 pounds of carrots = 3.25 × 1.50 = €4.875
He also purchased pounds of beet.
Quantity of beet purchased = 6/5 = 1.2 pounds
So the cost of beet shall be = 1.50 × 1.2 = €1.80
He purchased 0.95 pounds of Broccoli
So the cost of Broccoli shall be = 0.95 × 1.50 = €1.425
Total amount spent = 4.875 + 1.80 + 1.425 = €8.10
Edward spent €8.10 on vegetables.
