Answer:
e divided between Tyson and Tucker in the ratio 2:3.
\sf Sum \: of \: the \: Ratio \: = \: 2 \: + \: 3 \: = \: 5.SumoftheRatio=2+3=5.
\sf Tyson\: (pens)\: =Tyson(pens)=
\sf \dfrac{2}{5} \: * \: 60 \:= \: 2 \: * \: 12 \: = \: 24.

∗60=2∗12=24.
\boxed{\sf Tyson \: gets \: 24 \: pens.}
Tysongets24pens.
\sf Tucker \: (pens) \: =Tucker(pens)=
\sf \dfrac{3}{5} \: * \: 60 \:= \: 3 \: * \: 12 \: = \: 36.

∗60=3∗12=36.
\boxed{\sf Tucker \: gets \: 36 \: pens.}
Tuckergets36pens.
\textsf{If the ratios are reversed then,}If the ratios are reversed then,
\textsf{Number of pens of Tucker will become Tyson and Tyson will become Tucker.}Number of pens of Tucker will become Tyson and Tyson will become Tucker.
\textsf{After ratios are reversed, Tyson (pens) = 36 and Tucker (pens) = 24.}After ratios are reversed, Tyson (pens) = 36 and Tucker (pens) = 24.
\textsf{Number of pens Tyson will get more =}Number of pens Tyson will get more =

\boxed{\sf 12 \: pens.}
