Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder

x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000

LCM: 
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24, 

   x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 *   8/8   = 8x / 24
x/8 *   3/3   = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24

24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000

x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.

960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k

What is the converse of t &gt; r
Anettt [7]

The converse of  t > r is r > t

<h3>What is a converse statement?</h3>

A converse statement is determined when both the hypothesis and conclusion are reversed or interchanged.

In this condition, the hypothesis is written as the conclusion and the conclusion is changed to be the hypothesis.

If a conditional statement is written as: x → y

The converse is then written as y → x

Where;

  • x is the hypothesis
  • y is the conclusion

Given the expression as;

t > r

We can see that;

  • The variable 't' is the hypothesis
  • The variable 'r' is the conclusion

The converse will be;

r > t

Hence, the converse is r > t
