So a box of 20 chocolates is divided between a group of people based on age So the ratio for Sibusiso, Dorris, and Freddy is 2:3:5 Add these together, and you get 10 So to find how much each person gets, divide total amount of chocolates by total age So (20÷10) = 2 So multiply each age term by 2 and you have your answer (4:6:10) So Sibusiso gets 4, Dorris gets 6 and Freddy gets 10
