Combining Fruit Smoothie Ingredients

Maria and James are making fruit smoothies for a school event. Maria uses a ratio of 3 cups of strawberries to 2 cups of bananas in her smoothie recipe. James, on the other hand, uses a ratio of 4 cups of strawberries to 5 cups of bananas.

If Maria and James want to combine their ingredients to create a single batch of smoothie with strawberries and bananas in the same ratio, what will be the total amount of strawberries and bananas used in the final smoothie?

The final ratio of strawberries to bananas should be computed in the format of a single number representing the total number of cups of bananas used per cup of strawberries, which can be expressed as a simplified fraction or as a decimal.
