Answer:

12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

We can try the guess method.

3:1      3 + 1 = 4     4 is too low. We need a sum of 16.

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 2.

6:2     6 + 2 = 8   8 is still too low

Multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

12:4    12 + 4 = 16    16 is correct.

Answer: 12 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Area of a circle = pi x r ^2

R is half the diameter

Area of full circle:

Area = 22/7 x 21^2
