1) A business man gives N18 000,00 to his three children to be shared in the ratio 5: 4:3. How much is the least
share?

The least share is N450000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount shared = N18 00000

Sharing ratio = 5:4:3

Amount shared by each child :

Total ratio = (5 + 4 + 3 )= 12

First share :

(5 / 12) × 1800000 = 750000

Second share :

(4/12) × 1800000 = 600000

Third share:

(3/12) × 1800000 = 450000

The least amount of the three shares is :

N450000
