    So, Seth has 18 more sweets than Frank, yet theres only 3 number difference in the ratio, 4:5:7 (4:5) 3 number difference, 18/3 = 6

    add the ratios = 4+5+7 = 16

    1 number = 6 so

    4x6 = 24

    5x6=30

    7x6=42

    Frank gets 24 sweets

    Mary gets 30 sweets

    Seth gets 42 sweets

    The total number of sweets they shared is 24+30+42 = 96

    The share 96 sweets altogether.

    The check your answer; do 42-24 = 18

    Therefore, now we know that the difference between Seth and Frank's amount of sweets is 18.

    Therefore, this is correct.

    Each number in the ratio 4:5:7 is worth 6 sweets. add 4,5, and 7 to get 16 then multiply it by 6 to get 96 sweets.
