    Ratio Given = 2 : 8 : 12

    Find total parts:

    Total parts = 2 + 8 + 12 = 22

    Find 1 part:

    22 parts = 77 candies

    1 part = 77 : 22 = 3.5

    Find each of their parts:

    1 part = 3.5

    2 parts = 3.5 x 2 = 7

    8 parts = 3.5 x 8 = 28

    12 parts = 3.5 x 12 = 42

    Answer: Ashley = 7; Jordan = 28; Nikki = 42

    Okay, for the ratios, let's add all the numbers together and multiply it by n:

    22n = 77

    Divide:

    n = 3.5

    Now we multiply this variable 'n' with their respective numbers:

    Ashley : 7 (3.5*2)

    Jordan : 28 (3.5*8)

    Nikki : 42 (3.5*12)
