Answer:

25

Explanation:

Add the parts of the ratio to get the whole (7 + 2). Divide the total number of beads and the sum of the ratio to find out how many times you'll multiply (45 ÷ 9). Use the ratio to multiply by 5 (5 • 7) and (5 • 2).

There are 35 black beads and 10 white beads.

So, there are 25 more black beads than white beads.
