Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

There must be 96 milk chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the original ratio, 5:12, and replace the 5 with 40, you'd discover that 40 divided by 5 is 8. So what do you do? You multiply the 12 by 8 to get 96 so now the ratio is 40:96.
