Question

Abel is 12 years old and Gino is 8. They share 15 apples in the ratio of their ages. How many does each get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Abel gets 9 apples while Gino gets 6 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total age = 20 (Abel's age =12 + Gino's age =8)

Abel's share =

$\frac{12}{20} \times \frac{15}{1 } = 9$

Gino's share =

$\frac{8}{20} \times \frac{15}{1} = 6$
