Asked by Michele

The total number of pears eaten by Pete and two of his friends, Tweet and Honk, (during this visit to the pear tree) were in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5 respectively. If Pete ate 12 less pears than Honk, how many pears did Tweet eat during this time?
Answered by Reiny
pears eaten by
Pete --- 2x
Tweet -- 3x
Honk ---5x

Honk - Pete = 12
5x - 2x = 12
x = 4

so Pete ate 8
Tweet ate 12
and Honk ate 20
