Step-by-step explanation:HOPE IT HELPS YOU
he left 1/2 to his wife.
he left 1/3 to his son.
1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6.
the daughter gets the remaining 1/6.
1/6 of the pot is equal to 15000 pounds.
that means the pot has to be equal to 6 * 15000 = 90000 pounds.
the wife gets 1/2 so the wife gets 45000 pounds.
the son gets 1/3 so the son gets 30000 pounds.
the daughter gets 15000 pounds.
add them up and they total 90000 pounds so the numbers look good.
algebraically, let x equal the pot.
you get 1/6 * x = 15000
multiply both sides of the equation by 6 and you get:
x = 6 * 15000
