Answer 1

=》Heyo mate! Here you go :)

Answer:

ratio is 5:4:1

David: Malachy: Paul

David gets 20 (that is 4 times more than the original ration. so need to multiply everything by 4)

4*4=16

1*4=4

new ration- 20:16:4

So David gets 20

Malachy gets 16

Paul gets 4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+4x+1x=10x

As there are 20 sweets.

Therefore, 10x=20

x=2

As, Malachy part is 4, Therefore 4x=4×2=8.
