So, Seth has 18 more sweets than Frank, yet theres only 3 number difference in the ratio, 4:5:7   (4:5) 3 number difference, 18/3= 6

add the ratios = 4+5+7= 16
1 number = 6 so 
4x6= 24
5x6=30
7x6=42

Frank gets 24 sweets
Mary gets 30 sweets
Seth gets 42 sweets

The total number of sweets they shared is 24+30+42= 96
The share 96 sweets altogether. 

The check your answer; do 42-24= 18

Therefore, now we know that the difference between Seth and Frank's amount of sweets is 18.

Therefore, this is correct.

Each number in the ratio 4:5:7 is worth 6 sweets. add 4,5, and 7 to get 16 then multiply it by 6 to get 96 sweets.

<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>

First you have to find a common denominator between all the fractions which would be 12 for the first week it would be reduced to 6 3/12 and the second 4 8/12 both added together would be 10 and 11/12 so the equation would be 15 4/12 - 10 11/12 which would be 4 5/12.
