Dan, gordon and malachy share some sweets in the ratio 4: 3: 5. dan gets 48 sweets. how many sweets are there altogether?

144 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x> number of sweets that Dan has

y> number of sweets that Gordon has

z> number of sweets that Malachy has

we know that

x=48

x/y=4/3> y/x=3/4 > y=(3/4)x

Substitute the value of x

y=(3/4)48=36

x/z=4/5 > z/x=5/4 > z=(5/4)x

Substitute the value of x

z=(5/4)48=60

therefore

altogether there are  x+y+z=48+36+60=144 sweets

answer: what equations are there

step-by-step explanation:

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
