First question
①Brenda has ½ more sweets than Faith.
½ is 1 out of 2.
So we can say that Faith has 2 units of sweets and Brenda has 1 unit more than her. Brenda has 3 units.
Ratio of sweets of Brenda to Faith = 3 : 2
②Faith has 3/7 less sweets than Vivian.
3/7 is 3 out of 7.
So we can say that Vivian has 7 units of sweets and Faith has 3 units less than her. Faith has 4 units.
Ratio of sweets of Faith to Vivian = 4 : 7
Now we have a repeated identity, Faith. We should make her units the same number for both ratios, since it's for the same person.
We can change 3 : 2 into 6 : 4
Ratio of sweets of Brenda to Faith = 6 : 4
Now we can write the ratio comparing all three girls.
Ratio of sweets of Brenda to Faith to Vivian = 6 : 4 : 7
Total number of units = 6+4+7=17
So 17 units = 289 sweets
1 unit = 289 sweets ÷ 17 = 17 sweets
Number of sweets Vivian has = 7 units
= 7 x 17
= 119

Ratio of sweets of Brenda to Faith = 3 : 2
②Faith has 3/7 less sweets than Vivian.
3/7 is 3 out of 7.
So we can say that Vivian has 7 units of sweets and Faith has 3 units less than her. Faith has 4 units.
Ratio of sweets of Faith to Vivian = 4 : 7
Now we have a repeated identity, Faith. We should make her units the same number for both ratios, since it's for the same person.

Now we can write the ratio comparing all three girls.
Ratio of sweets of Brenda to Faith to Vivian = 6 : 4 : 7
Total number of units = 6+4+7=17
So 17 units = 289 sweets
1 unit = 289 sweets ÷ 17 = 17 sweets
Number of sweets Vivian has = 7 units
= 7 x 17
= 119
Thank U brother
God bless u.
God bless u.
Second question
①Adele has ⅓ more jelly beans than Emily.
⅓ is 1 out of 3.
So we can say that Emily has 3 units of jelly beans and Adele has 1 unit more than her. Adele has 4 units.
Ratio of sweets of Adele to Emily = 4 : 3
②Emily has 3/5 less jelly beans than Nora.
3/5 is 3 out of 5.
So we can say that Nora has 5 units of jelly beans and Emily has 3 units less than her. Emily has 2 units.
Ratio of jelly beans of Emily to Nora = 2 : 5
Now we have a repeated identity, Emily. We should make her units the same number for both ratios, since it's for the same person.
The common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.
We can change 4 : 3 into 8 : 6
We can change 2 : 5 into 6 : 15
Ratio of jelly beans of Adele to Emily = 8 : 6
Ratio of jelly beans of Emily to Nora = 6 : 15
Now we can write the ratio comparing all three girls.
Ratio of jelly beans of Adele to Emily to Nora = 8 : 6 : 15
Total number of units = 8+6+15 = 29
So 29 units = 58 jelly beans
1 unit = 58 jelly beans ÷ 29 = 2 jelly beans
Number of jelly beans Nora has = 15 units
= 15 x 2
= 30
①Adele has ⅓ more jelly beans than Emily.
⅓ is 1 out of 3.
So we can say that Emily has 3 units of jelly beans and Adele has 1 unit more than her. Adele has 4 units.
Ratio of sweets of Adele to Emily = 4 : 3
②Emily has 3/5 less jelly beans than Nora.
3/5 is 3 out of 5.
So we can say that Nora has 5 units of jelly beans and Emily has 3 units less than her. Emily has 2 units.
Ratio of jelly beans of Emily to Nora = 2 : 5
Now we have a repeated identity, Emily. We should make her units the same number for both ratios, since it's for the same person.
The common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.
We can change 4 : 3 into 8 : 6
We can change 2 : 5 into 6 : 15
Ratio of jelly beans of Adele to Emily = 8 : 6
Ratio of jelly beans of Emily to Nora = 6 : 15
Now we can write the ratio comparing all three girls.
Ratio of jelly beans of Adele to Emily to Nora = 8 : 6 : 15
Total number of units = 8+6+15 = 29
So 29 units = 58 jelly beans
1 unit = 58 jelly beans ÷ 29 = 2 jelly beans
Number of jelly beans Nora has = 15 units
= 15 x 2
= 30
