Answer 2

Answer:

Share of Eli, Freda and Geoff will be $180, $260, $360 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eli, Freda and Geoff were given $800 to share in the ratio of their age.

Their ages were 9 years, 13 years and 18 years respectively.

Ratio of their ages will be 9 : 13 : 18

Now share of Eli will be = $\frac{9}{9+13+18}\times 800$

= $\frac{9\times 800}{40}$

= $180

Share of Freda will be = $\frac{13}{9+13+18}\times 800$

                                     = $260

Share of Geoff will be = $\frac{18}{9+13+18}\times 800$

                                     = $360

Therefore, share of Eli, Freda and Geoff will be $180, $260, $360 respectively.
