Respuesta :

Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the watermelons owned by the three of them.

Let's take Susan as 'x'

According to the question:

1. Alex has twice the watermelons as Susan -> 2x

2. Amy has 6 more watermelons than Susan -> x+6

The sum of the watermelons is 66

SO,

x + 2x + x + 6 = 66

4x = 60

x = 15

Susan has 15

Alex has 30

and Amy has 21

Now  we do the ratio:

Susan : Amy

15    :   21

5     :    7
