A box of 132 sweets is shared between Alex, Ben, Cheryl and Daniel. The ratio of the amount Alex gets to the amount Ben gets is 4:1.
Cheryl gets 3 times the amount Alex gets.
Daniel gets 4 times the amount Alex gets.
Work out how many sweets Ben gets

16

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided 132 by 33 and then timed by 4, don't ask why, this's is just the right answer.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
