    Step-by-step explanation:

    Richard gets 15 sweets which is 3 parts of the ratio.

    Dividing 15 by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio

    15 : 3 = 5 sweets ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

    3 * 5 = 15 ← number of sweets Henry gets

    5 * 5 = 25 ← number of sweets Gavin gets

    Thus

    25 - 15 = 10 sweets which is how many Gavin gets over Henry
