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 $x\\$ bananas $x$ = (15 x 3/5) = 9

Tunde will have $y$ bananas $y$ = (15 x 2/5) = 6

Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas with them.
