Answer 2

Given:

• Nike and Ayobamiji are 16 and 14 years old respectively. N9150.00 is shared between them in the ratio of their ages.

Find:

• Let's how much does Nike get?

Calculations:

In ratio form of their ages: 16:14

Simplified form: 8:7

• 8/15 , 7/15

= N(8/15 × 9150)

= N4800

Hence, Nike gets N4800.

VERIFICATION:

• We know that total share between them is equal to N91500.

= N91500 - N4800

= N86700

= N86700 + N4800

= N91500

Hence Proved!!!
