There are red and blue balls in a bag. The number of blue balls is 27 and the red balls are 4/ 7 of all balls. What is the total number of balls in the bag?

We know this:

3/7 = 27

You need to find the value of 1/7

To do this, divide by 3

27/3 = 9

1/7 = 9

Multiply this by 7 to get the total number of balls:

9 x 7 = 63

There are 63 balls.

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
