Answer:7 sweet

Explanation:

june:gavyn:alex=2:2:1

June get 14 sweets

sum of ratio=2+2+1=5

(June ratio)/(total ratio) x (total sweet)=(June sweet)

2/5 x (total sweet)=14

Cross multiplying

2(total sweet)=14x5

2(total sweet) =70

Total sweet=70/2

Total sweet=35

Alex sweet=1/5 x 35

Alex sweet=35/5

Alex sweet=7
