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.

answer: 2 litters juice bottle

half of a gallon is 50% of a full gallon 2 litters of juice is 52% of a full gallon

hope this ^_^

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
