Answered by oobleck
8+7+5 = 20 equal parts to be shared
100/20 = 5
so the "7" person gets 7*5 = 35
8:7:5 = 40:35:25

Total share 100 kg

The ratio is 8:7:5

Let the common factor be x

Share of first person is 8 x

Share of second person 7 x

Share of third person is 5 x

Total share:

8 x + 7 x + 5 x = 20 x

20 x = 100 kg

x = 100 kg / 20

x = 5 kg

Share of first person is 8 • 5 kg = 40 kg

Share of second person 7 • 5 kg = 35 kg

Share of third person is 5 • 5 kg = 25 kg

Person wit 7 shares get 35 kg
