Answer:

4 strawberries

16 blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Berries in bowl = strawberries and blueberries

Total number of berries = 20

Ratio of blueberries to strawberries = 4 : 1

Number of each berries in bowl:

Total ratio = (4 +1) = 5

Number of Blueberries :

(Ratio of blueberries / total ratio) * number of berries

(4/5) * 20

= 16 blueberries

Number of strawberries :

(Ratio of strawberries / total ratio) * number of berries

(1/5) * 20

= 4 strawberries
