Hello There!

I feel as though you missed out a part of your question but i have already done this so i know the question.
Mandy's age can be represented as m
Sandy's age can be represented as s.
$\frac{m}{s}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$
s = $\frac{5m}{2}$
After 8 years:
$\frac{m+8}{s+8}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
Equation:
2m + 16 = s + 8
2m + 8 = s
2m + 8 = $\frac{5m}{2}$
Therefore, m = 16
s = $\frac{5m}{2}$
s = $\frac{5(16)}{2}$
s = 40
Mandy is 16 now
Sandy is 40 now
40 - 16 = 24
Therefore, Caitlin is correct.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
