Question4 5 6
A fruit salad has strawberries, blueberries and cranberries in the ratio $2: 3: 8$.
7 If it has 6 strawberries, how many berries has the fruit salad got in total? 8

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total number of berries.
Using the value of $x$, calculate the number of each type of berry: - Strawberries: $2x = 2 \times 3 = 6$ - Blueberries: $3x = 3 \times 3 = 9$ - Cranberries: $8x = 8 \times 3 = 24$
Add them together to find the total number of berries: $$6 + 9 + 24 = 39$$
The total number of berries in the fruit salad is: $$\boxed{39}$$
