Rosie , will and molly share some chocolate buttons in the ratio 3:4:1 molly gets 6 fewer chocolates than will
How many sweets does Ellie get ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Will has 8 because 8 is the only number that molly will be able to have 6 less than.

So 4 times 2 is 8, 3 times 2 is 6, and 1 times 2 is 2.

Essentially, you have to multiply the ratios. 6:8:2 is the only ratio in this problem that makes sense because 8-6 is 3 (will-6 to get molly). Based off of that, you can get 6 for ellie.

Sorry if my explanation doesn't make sense.
