Answer:

cannot say

Explanation:

Given that Kari owns 28 golf balls. Some are green, some are blue and several are orange. One fourth are red.

With the available information we know that 7 balls are red (1/4 of 28)

No mention is made about any of the other colour.

With the available information we cannot say whether 7 gold balls are definitely green.

We are given only some are green, some blue and several other are organe.

Nothing mentioned about red in that but given 1/4 are red.

The term some is a relative term and mathematically we cannot define whether this equals 7 or not

Cannot say.
