Answer:7 sweet

Step-by-step explanation:

june:gavyn:alex=2:2:1

June get 14 sweets

sum of ratio=2+2+1=5

(June ratio) / (total ratio) x (total sweet) = (June sweet)

2/5 x (total sweet) = 14

Cross multiplying

2 (total sweet) = 14x5

2 (total sweet) = 70

Total sweet=70/2

Total sweet=35

Alex sweet=1/5 x 35

Alex sweet=35/5

Alex sweet=7
