Answer 1

Answer:

Agwe is better off at distribution by respective weight, by $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Agwe Age : Kai Age = 14 : 16 = 7 : 8

Agwe weight : Kai weight = 58 : 62 = 29 : 31

Of $240, Agwe gets by Age ratio $=\frac{7}{7+8} . 240$ $=(7) . (16)$ $=$$$112$

Of $240, Agwe gets by Weight ratio $=\frac{29}{29+31} . 240$ $=(29) . (4)$ $=$$$116$

Agwe is better off at distribution by respective weight, by ($116 - $112) = $4
