answer:

8. 67 and 17. 36

Explanation:

hi there!

to find out the age of both girls, i believe that we should divide the number 26 by 3 because jamie is twice as old as natalie meaning ( natalie ) is younger

26/3

= 8. 67

meaning 8.67 is how old natalie is/was

add 8.68 to itself once and you will get jamie's age!

8. 67 + 8. 67

= 17. 34

meaning 17. 34 is how old jamie is/was

sorry if i misread the question or made it a little confusing! but i do hope that this ends up helping you! :)
