Answer:
42 sweets
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios are 5 : 3 : 2 = 5x : 3x : 2x (x is a multiplier )
June gets 42 more sweets than Alex , then
5x = 2x + 42 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
3x = 42 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 14
Gavyn = 3x = 3 × 14 = 42 sweets
Answer:
42 sweets.
Step-by-step explanation:
First work out the number of parts:
5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
So June gets 5/10 = 1/2 of the sweets.
Alex gets 2/10 = 1/5.
Gavyn gets 3/10.
If the total number of sweets was x, then:
1/2 x - 1/5 x = 42
5/10x - 2/10 x = 42
3/10 x = 42
x = 42*10/3 = 140.
So Gavyn has 3/10 * 140 = 42.
