Mark as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

given: gapes eaten = 7/9 of bowl

           grapes left = 40

solution:

     fraction of grapes left = fraction of total grapes - fraction of grapes eaten

                                         = 1-7/9 = 9/9-7/9 = 2/9

let total number of grapes = x

therefore 2x/9=40

                 2x = 40 x 9

                  2x = 360

                      x = 360/2

                  x = 180

:. there were 180 grapes in total
