Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:There are 36 blueberries and 12 Strawberries! I hope this helps you out. :)Step-by-step explanation:Hi, so I have a really easy way for you to do this and understand! :)Basically, you can just add the two numbers in the ratio together and divide that from the bigger total. For example, 9+3=12 and 48/12 is 4. Then you can just multiply each beginning ratio by four and you have your answer: 9*4=36 and 3*4 equals 12. An what does 12+36 equal? 48.
