    The smallest share is £8.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given,

    The ratio of share = 8:1

    Total amount = £72

    To find the smallest share.

    Let,

    Two share be 8x and x

    According to the problem,

    8x+x = 72

    or, 9x = 72

    or, x = 8

    So, two shares are £64 and £8

    Hence,

    The smallest share is £8.
