Strawberries in Smoothie Ratio

Sam and Alex are making fruit smoothies. They blend strawberries and bananas in a ratio of 2:3. If they decide to use a total of 25 cups of fruit, how many cups of strawberries will they use?

To solve this problem, you can use the concept of ratios. Let the number of cups of strawberries be represented as $S$ and the number of cups of bananas as $B$. According to the ratio, we have:

$$ \f\frac{S}{B} = \f\frac{2}{3} $$

Additionally, the total amount of fruit used is:

$$ S + B = 25 $$
