See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$S \to$ Strawberry

$G \to$ Grape

The given parameter can be represented as:

$S : G = 2 : 5$

Required

The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.

Possible questions could be to determine the number of strawberries given a certain number of grapes, and vice versa

Take for instance

Calculate the number of grapes when there are 20 strawberries

We have:

$S : G = 2 : 5$

This becomes

$20 : G = 2 : 5$

Express as fraction

$\frac{20}{ G} = \frac{2 }{5}$

Make G the subject

$G = 20 * \frac{5}{2}$

$G = 10 * 5$

$G = 50$

i.e. 50 grapes

Apply the same method given a certain number of grapes
