Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum their ages , 11 + 19 + 20 = 50

Divide £500 by 50 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£500 ÷ 50 = £10, thus

11 × £10 = £110 ← Pete's share

19 × £10 = £190 ← Fred's share

20 × £10 = £200 ← Sarah's share

Answer:

Pete's share: £110

Fred's share: £190

Sarah's share: £200

Step-by-step explanation:

Add their ages:

11 + 19 + 20 = 50

500 ÷ 50 = £10

Then you times their age with £10 to get how much they all get.

10 x 11 = £110

19 x 10 = £190

20 x 10 = £200

I hope my answer will help you out!
