Question

Gavin, Colin and Dan share some sweets in the ratio 2:4:3. Gavin gets 24 sweets. How many more sweets does Colin get over Dan?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

We have ratio of sweets given:

                            GAVIN           COLIN            DAN

                                2          :          4          :        3

We can see that GAVIN is getting 24 which is in terms of ratio is 2.

so we can say that          2 = 24

                               thus  1 = 12 ( we need to find the value of 1 in ratio so that we can calculate others value)

             then we can say that  COLIN is getting  4 x 12  = 48

                                            and DAN is getting     3 x 12  = 36

So We can see that COLIN is Getting ( 48 - 36 )    =  12  more sweets

Answer 2

Answer:

We have ratio of sweets given:

                           GAVIN           COLIN            DAN

                               2          :          4          :        3

We can see that GAVIN is getting 24 which is in terms of ratio is 2.

so we can say that          2 = 24

                              thus  1 = 12 ( we need to find the value of 1 in ratio so that we can calculate others value)

            then we can say that  COLIN is getting  4 x 12  = 48

                                           and DAN is getting     3 x 12  = 36

So We can see that COLIN is Getting ( 48 - 36 )    =  12  more sweets
