[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find Okoro's share, we need to calculate the ratio between Chukwu's sweets and Okoro's sweets and then use it to find Okoro's share.

The given ratio is 4:3.
This means that for every 4 parts that Chukwu gets, Okoro gets 3 parts.

We know that Chukwu got 12 sweets, which represents 4 parts of the ratio.
To find each part, we divide 12 by 4: 12/4 = 3.

So each part of the ratio represents 3 sweets.

Now that we know each part represents 3 sweets, we can find Okoro's share.
Okoro's share is 3 parts of the ratio = 3 * 3 = 9 sweets.

Therefore, Okoro's share was 9 sweets.
