Answer:

£10

Explanation:

With these 'sharing' ratio questions, first work out the total amount of parts in the ratio:

1:3:5 = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 parts

Now divide the total amount of parts by the total amount of money shared :

90 / 9 = 10

Now multiply by the appropriate value, in this case, aahil.

aahils value is 1.

1 × 10 = £10

hope this helps :)
