Question

martha needs 28 strawberries for every 4 smoothies she makes. complete the table using equivalent ratios. strawberries smoothies 28 4 3 70

Explanation:

Step1: Find the unit rate

First, find the number of strawberries per smoothie. The ratio of strawberries to smoothies is \( \frac{28}{4} = 7 \) strawberries per smoothie.

Step2: Calculate strawberries for 3 smoothies

For 3 smoothies, multiply the unit rate by 3: \( 7 \times 3 = 21 \) strawberries.

Step3: Calculate smoothies for 70 strawberries

Divide the number of strawberries by the unit rate: \( \frac{70}{7} = 10 \) smoothies.

Answer:

For 3 smoothies, strawberries are 21; for 70 strawberries, smoothies are 10. So the completed table has 21 (strawberries for 3 smoothies) and 10 (smoothies for 70 strawberries).
