Mia and Jamie share 20 sweets in the ratio 2 : 3. How many sweets does the one with the bigger share get?

What does the generator do?

The generator picks small ratios and totals divisible by the sum of the parts so every problem has a whole-number answer.

How to solve

A 2 : 3 ratio means 5 equal parts. Divide the whole into that many parts and give each side the right number of them. For equivalent ratios, multiply both sides by the same number.
