To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.
60/5 = 12
That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.
The rate of change for function A is 2. It would originally be 2 over one but you can just simplify it down to 2. The rate of change for function B is 3. Which would also originally be 3 over 1.
