To divide the amount of $55.00 between Dande and Majili in the ratio of their ages (12 and 10), we first need to calculate the total ratio:
1. Add the ages together:
\[
12 + 10 = 22
\]
2. Determine Dande's share based on his age:
\[
\text{Dande's share} = \frac{Dande's age}{\text{Total age}} \times \text{Total amount}
\]
\[
= \frac{12}{22} \times 55
\]
3. Calculate Dande's share:
\[
= \frac{12 \times 55}{22} = \frac{660}{22} = 30
\]
So, Dande gets $30.00.
1. Add the ages together:
\[
12 + 10 = 22
\]
2. Determine Dande's share based on his age:
\[
\text{Dande's share} = \frac{Dande's age}{\text{Total age}} \times \text{Total amount}
\]
\[
= \frac{12}{22} \times 55
\]
3. Calculate Dande's share:
\[
= \frac{12 \times 55}{22} = \frac{660}{22} = 30
\]
So, Dande gets $30.00.
