Question

an estate valued at 60,000 is divided among albert, brian and charles in the ratio 1:2:3 respectively. Calculate the amount each receives

Answer 1

Albert receives $10,000, Brian receives $20,000, and Charles receives $30,000.

Explanation:

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Next, we can find out what fraction of the estate each person is entitled to:

Albert: 1/6 of the estate

Brian: 2/6 (or 1/3) of the estate

Charles: 3/6 (or 1/2) of the estate

Now, we can calculate the amount each person receives by multiplying their share by the total value of the estate:

Albert: (1/6) x $60,000 = $10,000

Brian: (1/3) x $60,000 = $20,000

Charles: (1/2) x $60,000 = $30,000
