Answer:

60 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio = 2 + 2 +5 = 9

Let x = total sweets shared

Dan got 2/9 of x. This is equal to 24

the equation for this is - [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] × x = 24

to solve for x, divide both sides by [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

x = 108 = total sweet shared

sweets malachy got = [tex]\frac{5}9}[/tex] x 108 = 60 sweets
