Answer:

4 blueberries & 6 strawberries in the bowl

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number berries (blueberry & strawberry) is 10

The ratio of BlueBerry to StrawBerry is 2 : 3

That is total ratio parts of 2 + 3 = 5 parts

Now we find how many berries are in each part. We know 5 total "ratio parts" and 10 total berries in the bowl, so each part is:

10/5 = 2

Each ratio part = 2 berries

BlueBerry = 2 parts = 2 * 2 = 4 of them

StrawBerry = 3 parts = 2 * 3 = 6 of them

So, there are

4 blueberries & 6 strawberries in the bowl
