The question is asking to calculate the number of strawberries in every group and base on my calculation, the possible answer would be that the group #1 is 28 and the group #2 is 49. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications 

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

For every 4 strawberries in group 1 there are 7 strawberries in group 2

i.e. if we let first group has 4x strawberries

then, second group has 7x strawberries

i.e. 4x+7x=77

11x=77

Dividing both sides by 11, we get

x=7

First group has 4x strawberries=4×7 strawberries

                                                    = 28 strawberries

Second group has 7x strawberries=7×7 strawberries

                                                         = 49 strawberries

Hence, number of strawberries with group 1=28

and number of strawberries with group 2=49
