Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]G:C:D\\----\\2:4:3[/tex]

Gavin has 24 sweets which is 2 units.

2 units = 24 sweets

1 unit = [tex]24\ sweets \div 2 = 12\ sweets[/tex]

Colin has 4 units, while Dan has 3 units.

Colin has 1 unit more than Dan.

Since 1 unit is 12 sweets, Colin has 12 more sweets than Dan.
