Stephen, Gavin and Jim share some sweets in the ratio 1:4:4. Stephen gets 13 sweets. How many more sweets does Gavin get over Stephen?

39 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the ratio is

1+4+4= 9

to find the number of sweets shared we say

1/9*X=13 sweets

X=9*13

X=117

therefore Gavin and jim will share equal number of sweets

117-13

104 sweets. Jim gets 52 while Gavin gets 52 sweets.

How many more sweets does Gavin get over Stephen?

52-13

Gavin get 39 more sweets over Stephen. I hope that helps

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
