Question 1148550
<br>
wife:son = 5:3
son:daughter = 4:3<br>
Change the ratios to equivalent ratios so that the son's share is the same number in both ratios:<br>
wife:son = 20:12
son:daughter = 12:9<br>
Now we can combine the ratios to compare all three amounts:<br>
wife:son:daughter = 20:12:9<br>
Now let the three amounts be 20x, 12x, and 9x.<br>
We know the wife's share is 561,000 more than the daughter's share:<br>
{{{20x-9x = 561000}}}
{{{11x = 561000}}}
{{{x = 51000}}}<br>
The total value of the property is<br>
{{{20x+12x+9x = 41x = 41(51000) = 2091000}}}<br>
ANSWER: The value of the property is 2,091,000.<br>
