Answer:
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.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
