there are 18 pieces of dark chocolate and the ratio of dark and white is 3:2 so we can divide 18 by 3.

18/3 = 6.

This means the ratio of dark chocolate to white as a 1:1 ratio would be 6:6 so we can multiply 6 by 2 to give us the total amount of pieces of white chocolate.

6*2 = 12.

Therefore there are 12 white chocolate pieces.
