To calculate each person's share, we'll use the given ratio of 1:3:6.

Let's denote Harrison's share as x.

Anny's share will be 3x (since it is three times Harrison's share).

Ekua's share will be 6x (since it is six times Harrison's share).

The sum of their shares is equal to GH4000:

x + 3x + 6x = GH4000

Combining like terms:

10x = GH4000

Dividing both sides by 10:

x = GH400

Therefore, Harrison's share is GH400.

Anny's share is 3 times Harrison's share, so Anny's share is GH1200.

Ekua's share is 6 times Harrison's share, so Ekua's share is GH2400.
