Answer:
About 8.6 units.
If you count up and sideways, it would be 12, but then there is some stuff we need to calculate at the end because it's not fully.
If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14. Why by4? So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags. We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls. What number is a common factor? 7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
14 balls + 42 balls = 56 bouncy balls

um
requires some trial and error
erm
ah hah
what 2 numbers multiply to get 16 and add to get -8
-4 and -4
(x-4y)(x-4y)
(x-4y)²
The answer is 10/1 ratio. Hope this helps!
