Colleague advises that 439 must be in ratio 5 and 3 like the fractions. The only fit is 250 and 189

Santa gives ten sweets to four-fifths of the girls, and twelve sweets to two thirds of the boys.

There are 439 children in total, and he started the day with 4000 sweets.

10 x 4/5 g = 8g (so this averages out at 8 sweets per girl)
12 x 2/3 b = 8b (so this averages out at 8 sweets per boy)

This therefore averages out at 8 sweets per child. 439 x 8 = 3512.

4000 - 3512 = 488
