1st = 12 stickers

2nd = 18 stickers

3rd = 30 stickers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total stickers = 60

Ratio of the three students = 2:3:5

Let the ratio of the 1st student = 2

The ratio of the 2nd student = 3

The ratio of the 3rd student = 5

Total ratio = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10


\begin{gathered} \text{The amount each student gets = }\frac{ratio}{\text{total ratio}}*\text{ total stickers} \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 1st\text{ student = }(2)/(10)*60 \\ 1st\text{ student = 12 stickers} \end{gathered}


\begin{gathered} 2nd\text{ student = }(3)/(10)*60 \\ 2nd\text{ student = 18} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} 3rd\text{ student = }(5)/(10)*60 \\ 3rd\text{ student = }30\text{ stickers} \end{gathered}
