Answer:

Anna  9 and Betty 15

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 3 + 5 = 8 parts

divide number of sweets by 8 to find value of one part of the ratio

24 ÷ 8 = 3 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

3 parts = 3 × 3 = 9

5 parts = 5 × 3 = 15

Anna gets 9 sweets and Betty gets 15
