Answer: et's call the amount of strawberries Gill uses "x" grams. We know that the ratio of strawberries to bananas is 7:3, so we can set up an equation:

x/144 = 7/3

To solve for x, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 144:

x = 7/3 * 144

x = 7 * 48

x = 336

So Gill uses 336 grams of strawberries in the smoothie.
