If we want to share the money in equal parts, we have to consider that Eli has 9 shares, Freda has 13 shares and Geoff has 18 shares. So, in total, we have to split the money in

[tex]9+13+18 = 40[/tex]

parts. So, each part is

[tex]\dfrac{800}{40} = \dfrac{80}{4} = 20[/tex]£

Now, we distribute the shares:

  • Eli has 9 shares, so she must receive [tex]20\cdot 9 = 180[/tex]£
  • Freda has 13 shares, so she must receive [tex]20\cdot 13 = 260[/tex]£
  • Geoff has 18 shares, so he must receive [tex]20\cdot 18 = 360[/tex]£

Answer:

Eli gets £180

Freda gets £260

Geoff gets £360

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to make a ratio comparing their ages.

9 : 13 : 18 which is Eli : Freda : Geoff

Next, you need to work out the sum their ages (9+13+18) which is 40.

Then you divide the £800 (the amount that is being shared) by the sum of their ages 800÷40 which gives £20.And finally you need to multiply 20 by each section of the ratio.

So, 9×20 : 13×20 : 18 ×20 but then you need to simplify to get 180: 260 : 360.

Sorry if this explanation is confusing.
