Answer: There are 60 blueberries  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 2:7

i.e. [tex]\dfrac{\text{Quantity of blueberries}}{\text{Quantity of strawberries}}=\dfrac27[/tex]

If Quantity of strawberries = 20

Then,

 [tex]\dfrac{x}{210}=\dfrac27\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac27\times210\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= \dfrac{2}{7}\times210\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 60[/tex]

Hence, There are 60 blueberries  .
