Answer:
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.
