1 answer:
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas respectively.
For the given ratio case we use the sharing ratio criterion to solve the problem.
Jummai is 12 years old.
Tunde is 8 years old.
Their ages are in ratio of;
A = 12 : 8
A = 3 : 2
The ratio's sum is 5.
15 bananas total are available for sharing.
Jummai will have bananas
= (15 x 3/5) = 9
Tunde will have bananas
= (15 x 2/5) = 6
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas with them.
