Answer:
Sian would receive 20 Pounds while Abigail would receive 10 Pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Sian is twice as old as her sister Abigail, it means that if Abigail's age is T years then Sian's age would be 2T years.
If they divide 30 pounds in the ratio of their ages, the ratio of their ages will be
T : 2T (Ratio of Abigail's gae to Sian's age)
The amount received by Abigail
= T/(T + 2T) × 30
= T/3T × 30
= 1/3 × 30
= 10 Pounds
The amount received by Sian
= 2T/(T + 2T) × 30
= 2T/3T × 30
= 2/3 × 30
= 20 Pounds
