Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 904

Refer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

5650 total,

And 4:1 which adds up and make 5. So,

5x = 5650

x=5650/5

x=1130

As pichard part is 4:1 so his part is 4 overall the money so,

Richard got 4x = 4 × 1130 = 4520

4520 now dividing in 6:3:1

10a = 4520

A= 452

Wife amount is 3a = 3 ×452 = 1356

Son is 1a so its,

Son = 452

Minus= 1356 -452 = 904

Wife got 904 more than son
