1. Find the fraction of strawberry muffins

Fraction of strawberry muffins =1−14−25= 1 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{5}
=1−520−820= 1 - \frac{5}{20} - \frac{8}{20}
=720= \frac{7}{20}

2. Express the fractions with a common denominator to find the ratio

Blueberry muffins =14=520= \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{20}
Chocolate muffins =25=820= \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{20}
Strawberry muffins =720= \frac{7}{20}

3. Form the required ratio

Ratio of Strawberry : Blueberry : Chocolate
=7:5:8= 7 : 5 : 8

Answer

7:5:87 : 5 : 8 (option 4)
