Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total number of green tokens in the bag=36

Ratio of green tokens to black tokens=3:4

We have to find the number of black tokens in the bag.

Let x be the number of black tokens in the bag.

According to question

$36:x=3:4$

$\frac{36}{x}=\frac{3}{4}$

By cross multiply , then we get

$144=3x$

$x=\frac{144}{3}=48$

By division property of equality

Hence, the number of blacken tokens in the bag=48
