Dande and majili are 12 and 10 years old respectively.#55.00 is shared between them in ratio of their ages.how much does dande get

Answer 1

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.
