Answer 1

This would probely be 266.

Explanation:

There are three kids so I would divide them by three. Or multiply 266 by three. Of course there would still be 2$ left.

Answer 2

Share of Eli, Freda and Geoff will be $180, $260, $360 respectively.

Explanation:

Eli, Freda and Geoff were given $800 to share in the ratio of their age.

Their ages were 9 years, 13 years and 18 years respectively.

Ratio of their ages will be 9 : 13 : 18

Now share of Eli will be =
`(9)/(9+13+18)* 800`

=
`(9* 800)/(40)`

= $180

Share of Freda will be =
`(13)/(9+13+18)* 800`

= $260

Share of Geoff will be =
`(18)/(9+13+18)* 800`

= $360

Therefore, share of Eli, Freda and Geoff will be $180, $260, $360 respectively.
