Question

Amy, Beth and Colin share 36 sweets in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. Work out the number of sweets that each of them receives.

Answer 1

let the number of sweet each get be x, then,

2x+3x+4x = 36

9x = 36x

= 36/9

x = 4

so ratio is 2:3:4and

value is 2x :3x : 4x

putting the value of x in above , we get

2x = 2×4 = 83

x = 3×4 = 124

x = 4×4 =16
