Question

Eli, Freddy and Geoff were given £800 to share in the ratio of their ages.
Eli is 9 years old, Freddy is 13 years old and Geoff is 18 years old.
how much do each get??

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of their ages = 9 : 13 : 18

Amount Eli will get = £800 X 9/40 = £180

Amount Freddy will get = £800 X 13/40 = £260

Amount Geoff will get = £800 X 18/40 = £360

Answer 2

Answer:

£180, £260 & £360 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

let they get

9x, 13x 18x

Atq,

9x+13x+18x = 800

40x = 800

x = 800/40

x = 20

so,

Eli gets 9x = 9×20 = £180

similarly

Freddy gets £260

and

Geoff gets £360.
