Question

Abel is 12 years old and Gino is 8. They share 15 apples in the ratio of their ages. How many does each get?

Answer 1

Abel gets 9 apples while Gino gets 6 apples.

Explanation:

Total age = 20 (Abel's age =12 + Gino's age =8)

Abel's share =

`(12)/(20) * (15)/(1 ) = 9`

Gino's share =

`(8)/(20) * (15)/(1) = 6`
