Natasha, Mark and Henry share some sweets in the ratio 5:4:4. Natasha gets 35 sweets. How many more sweets does Natasha get over Henry?

Respuesta :

Answer:

7 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the constant of proportionality is 7 since 35/5 since it is the ratio for Natasha. Since 7 is the constant of proportionality, you multiply it by the difference of the ratios. In this case, Natasha and Henry have a difference of 1 in ratios. Since it is a difference of 1, you multiply that by the constant of proportionality, 7. 7 X 1 is equal to 7, so Natasha gets 7 more sweets than Henry.
