Ivide 28 pieces of candy into 2 groups so the ratio is 2 to 5. How many pieces of candy will be in each group?

Respuesta :

Answer: 8 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 28 pieces of candy are put into 2 groups in the ratio is 2 to 5.

The number of pieces of candy that will be in each group will be:

1st group = 2/(2 + 5) × 28

= 2/7 × 28

= 2 × 4

= 8

2nd group = 5/(2 + 5) × 28

= 5/7 × 28

= 5 × 4

= 20
