Answer 1

`A:E:M = 6:4:5`

Explanation:

Given

Abam =N3.00 when Emeka = N2.00

Emeka = N4.00 when Madu = N5.00

Required

Determine their ratios

Represent their ratios with the first letter of their names:

From the first statement

`A:E = 3:2` ---- (1)

From the second

`E:M = 4:5` ----- (2)

Multiply the ratio in (1) by 2

`A:E = 3 * 2: 2 * 2`

`A:E = 6: 4` ---- (3)

Notice that the value of E in both cases is the same i.e E = 4

(1) and (3) can be merged to give:

`A:E:M = 6:4:5`
