Answer:
= 117 sweets altogether,
Step-by-step explanation:
Gavyn has the same as Richard as the names are ordered same as the ratios appear in the question.
Gavyn has more than Stephen = Richard also has more than Stephen and Richard has same as Gavyn.
2 x 6.5 = 13
8 x 6.5 = 52
8 x 6.5 = 52
add totals together =117
We found 6.5 as the multiplier as 38/3 = 13
13/2 = 6.5
We then realized the ratios needed to be in 2's
If 4= 8 then 1 = 2 is the multiplier for 6.5
or simply 1 x 13 + 4 x 13 + 4 x 13 = 117
I divided simply as it helps with working out other ratio for decimal ratio's.
