Answer 1

Answer: 34

Step-by-step explanation: the ratio is 3:2 we know that there are 51 orange sweets but we don’t know how many are yellow so the current ratio is 51:x we need to find x so if we divide 3 by 51 the answer is 17 so we need to multiply 17 by 2 which is 34 so x is equaled to 34 the final ratio is 51:34
