Stephen, Gavin and Jim share some sweets in the ratio 3:1:2.
Stephen gets 24 sweets. How many
sweets are there altogether?

There are 48 sweets altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio: 3:1:2

Stephen: 24 sweets

24/3 = 8

Fill in ratio.

24:8:16

24 + 8 + 16 = 48

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephen : Gavin : Jim

3 : 1 : 2

We can say that this means the total amount of sweets get split between the 3 of them into 6 equal parts ( 3 + 1 + 2).

If Stephen gets 24 sweets, this means

3 parts = 24

So to find 1 part, divide 24 by 3.

1 part = 8 sweets

Now we can find the total by multiplying this by 6.

6 parts = 8 x 6 = 48 sweets.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 48m^2!
