Since the given ratio is blue:black is 4:5
4+5=9

4/9= 0.44 ~ 44%
5/9= 0.56 ~ 56%

Since there are a total of 63 bikes and 44% of these bikes are blue we just multiply 44% with the total number of bikes.

Solution:
1. 0.44 x 63 = 28
2. 0.56 x 63 = 35

Conclusively, there are 28 bikes that are colored blue.
