Question

Matthew made a fruit salad, in which the ratio of blueberries to red grapes is 8:6. Write the ratio of red grapes to blueberries in simplest form. [Type your ratio using a colon and without spaces.]

___

Answer 1

Answer: 3:4

Step-by-step explanation: There are 6 red grapes and 8 blueberries. So this would make the ratio 6:8 normally. You want to find the biggest number that goes into 6 and 8, which is 2. You divide both by 2 and get 3:4, since both don't have a big number that goes into both, your answer is 3:4

Answer 2

This relationship is proportional and you can write it out as 8/6 = 28/? . the simplest way to find the missing value is to simply 8/6 to 4/3. we now have 4/3 = 28/? . four times seven is twenty eight. multiply the denominator by seven because you must multiply both sides by the same value to find that the missing value is equal to 21.
