7 bananas.
14 strawberries.
Total is 21 fruits.
The ratio of strawberries to the TOTAL number of fruits is being asked for (not the ratio of strawberries to bananas).
That's 14:21, or 2:3 in simplified form.

ASIDE: If a Numeric Entry question asks you to enter a FRACTION, you are not obligated to simplify the fraction.
So, other acceptable answers include: 14/21, 140/210, 28/42, etc
