Answer: <em>230 - the total amount of sweets.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Adrian received 8 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Ben got 5 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Charlie received 10 pieces of sweets.</em>

<em>The sum of all parts:</em>

8 + 5 + 10 = 23

<em>Let's calculate how many parts Charlie got more than Adrian:</em>

10 - 8 = 2

<em>It is also known that Charlie received 20 more sweets than Adrian. This means that you can calculate how many sweets are in one part.</em>

<em>20 : 2 = 10</em>

<em>Now we can calculate the total amount of sweets:</em>

<em>10 × 23 = 230</em>

martin is making four milkshakes if the recipe calls for 2/3 cup of milk how many cups of milk does he need
Bogdan [553]

The number of cups of milk would be 2 2/3 needed in the four milkshakes.

<h3>What is Ratio?</h3>

A ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other

We have been given that martin is making four milkshakes. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of milk.

We have to determine the number of cups of milk he needs

Let the number of cups of milk would be x in the four milkshakes.

As per the given situation, we can write the ratio would be as:

1 milkshakes : 2/3 cup of milk = 4 milkshakes : x cup of milk

⇒ 1 / (2/3) = 4/x

Reciprocal the term in the numerator,

⇒ 3/2 = 4/x

Apply the cross-multiplication operation,

⇒ 3x = 8

⇒ x = 8/3

⇒ x = 2 2/3

Thus, the number of cups of milk would be 2 2/3 in the four milkshakes.
