Question

the ratio of blue berries to straw berries is 1:7. If there are 270 strawberries how many blueberries are there​

Answer 1

Answer:

given : let the common multiple be x

therefore blue berries = 1x

and straw berries. = 7x

Since total no of berries is 270

therefore. 1x + 7x 270

8x = 270

x = 280/8

x = 45

therefore x = 45

since blue berries = 1x

therefore no of blue berries are 45
