Given : Talia uses 10 strawberries and 4 oranges to make 8 servings of fruit salad.

 

By using proportions :


For strawberries:   10/8 = n/12

                                   8n = 120

                                    n = 120/15

                                     n = 15

 

For Oranges:      4/8 = n/12

                            8n = 48

                            n = 48/8

                           n= 6

 

Therefore, Taila needs 15 strawberries and 6 oranges to make 12 servings.
