Answer:

22:18

Explanation:

In this case, firstly you have to add 11 and 9 together, which makes 20.

Then, 40 ( number of sweets ), divided by 20 gives us 2.

This means that every piece, or block, of our ratio will be 2.

Therefore, the last step is multiplying 11x2 and 9x2.

So, Andy has 22 sweets an Trevor has 18.
