Question

A father leaves his money to his four children the first received 1/3 the second received 1/6 and the third received 2/5 how much did the remaining child receive

Answer 1

Answer:

The remaining child got a fraction of  $\frac{1}{10}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take the fraction of the money fourth child got is $x$

Addition of all these fractions should be equal to 1.

⇒$\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6} +\frac{2}{5} +x=1$

⇒$\frac{10+5+12+30x}{30} =1$ (Taking a common denominator)

⇒$\frac{27+30x}{30} =1$

⇒$27+30x=30$

⇒$30x=3$

⇒$x=0.1$

Therefore,

The remaining child got a fraction of  $\frac{1}{10}$.
