Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent George's age.

Let y represent Edward's age.

Let z represent Robert's age.

George is twice as old as Edward. It means that

x = 2y

Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that

z = y - 4

If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that

x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56

4y - 4 ≥ 56

4y ≥ 56 + 4

y ≥ 60/4

y ≥ 15

z = y - 4 = 15 - 4

z ≥ 11

Write all ratios in is There are three children in the Skosana family. Each week the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R
geniusboy [140]

From the amounts that are given, the ratio of the earnings will be 3:2:1.

<h3>How to calculate ratio</h3>

From the information, the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R180 and the youngest earns R90.

Therefore, the common factor to the numbers will be 90. Therefore, the ratio will be:

270/90 = 3

180/90 = 2

90/90 = 1

The ratio is 3:2:1.
