Verified Answer :

There are 135 colored
candies in a small typical bag, in which in every 135 colored candies,
there are 27 blue candies.

Now, if there are 1 000 pile of colored candies, how much is the total
number of blue candies.

First, let’s identify how many 135 candies are there in 1 000 candies

=> 1 000 / 135

=> there are 7.407407…. repeating decimals.

Now, let’s multiply this by 27

=> 7.407… x 27

= 200, thus, there are 200 blue candies in 1000 pile of colored-candies.
