Answer:
Wife's share = 440 euros, Son's share = 1100 euros
Step-by-step explanation:
Total parts in which lottery is to be divided = 2+3 =5
Total money = 2750 euros
Paul 's share = 2/5 of 2750 =1100
Malachy 's share = 3/5 of 2750 = 1650
Total parts of Paul's share = 5+4+1 = 10
Money Paul got = 5/10 of 1100 = 550 euros
Paul's wife got = 4/10 of 1100 = 440 euros
Paul's son got = 1/10 of 1100 = 110 euros
