9. The number of sprouts that Bill, Harvey and Ruth eat is in the ratio 3: 2:5
Bill and Ruth eat 24 sprouts between them.
How many sprouts are eaten altogether?

Please help

Respuesta :

Answer: 9:6:15

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is Bill : Harvey : Ruth

We are told that bill and ruth both eat 24 sprouts together. The ratio for bill and Ruth would be 3:5

Add the ratios together to get 8

Then divide the amount (24) by 8

This gives you 3. Then times all he numbers in the ratio by 3 to get the answer ; 9 : 6 : 15
