Explanation & Answer

The number of robins that visited the feeder is given  by the value of the ratio  that  represents robins divided by the total ratio times the total number of the birds.

The total ratio is 11; 4 +7

The total number of birds  is 132,

The value of the ratio  that  represents robins is  4

So  you will have  4/11 x 132, which is 48 robins.
