Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly the ratio between the blue balls and red balls when the blue balls are when the blue balls are 36 and red balls are 87 then the ratio is 12 by 29 now the number of Blue Balls is equal to 48. Now let the number of red balls is equals to X according to question 48 upon X is equals to 12 by 29 and when we will solve it the number of red balls will be 116

Answer 2

$\frac{87}{36} = \frac{x}{48} \\ 87 \times 48 = 36x \\ 4176 = 36x \\ \frac{4176}{36} = x \\ x = 116$
