Use the short story to answer the foll.owing questions
Ronke, Tiwa and Yejide make 2100 naira at their school's market Day by selling cold drinks. Ronke takes 18/54 of the money, Tiwa takes 12/36 and Yejide takes 2/6.
Questions
A. Do the girls share the money evenly? Show your working
B. How much money does each girls get?
Solution:
A. To determine if the girls share the money evenly, we need to compare the fractions of money that each girl receives.
Ronke's share: 18/54
Tiwa's share: 12/36
Yejide's share: 2/6
Let's simplify each fraction to its lowest terms:
Ronke's share: 1/3
Tiwa's share: 1/3
Yejide's share: 1/3
Since all three girls receive 1/3 of the money, they share the money evenly.
B. To calculate how much money each girl gets, we need to know the total amount of money made. In this case, the total amount made is 2100 naira.
Since the girls share the money evenly, we can divide the total amount by 3 to find out how much each girl gets:
2100 / 3 = 700 naira.
Therefore, each girl gets 700 naira.
