Ann, Emily, and Bob collect stickers. They have a total of 70 stickers in the ratio 2:3:5, respectively. How many stickers does each child have?

The stickers are divided by groups of

2/10, 3/10 and 5/10

2/10 * 70 = 14

3/10 * 70 = 21

5/10 * 70 = 35

14 + 21 + 35 = 70

So, the stickers are allotted to the 3 children in a group of

14 to one child, 21 to another child, and 35 to the third child.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
