They each got

  • First Boy = 2.18 Oranges
  • Second Boy = 3.27 Oranges
  • Third Boy =

Step by Step

• All Oranges = 12

• Ratio = 2:3:6

First Boy


(2)/((2 + 3 + 6)) * 12 \: oranges


(2)/(11) * 12 \: oranges


= 2.18 \: > 2 \: oranges

Second Boy


(3)/((2 + 3 + 6)) * 12 \: oranges


(3)/(11) * 12 \: oranges


= 3.27 \: > 3 \: oranges

Third Boy


(6)/((2 + 3 + 6)) * 12 \: oranges


(6)/(11) * 12 \: oranges


= 6.54 \: > 7 \: oranges

TOTAL: 2 + 3 + 7 = 12 ✅
