Answer:
Let the total number of sweets be x.
The sum of ratio = 5 + 4 + 4 = 13
Now Natasha gets 35 sweets which is 5/13 of the total sweets.
The equation is:
5x/13 = 35
x = 35 x 13/5
x = 91
Total sweets are 91.
Henry gets 4/13 of 91 which is 28 (4 x 91/13).
That is why, Natasha gets 7 more sweets (35 - 28) over Henry.
