Answer:

60000

Step-by-step explanation:

You should treat the first son with the 1 ratio as x. Because of this, the second son would be 3x and the third would be 6x. All of them need to equal 120000 so 10x=120000. Next you isolate the and x= 12000. Fill in 1200 for x and the first son gets 12000, the second gets 36000, and the third gets 72000. Lastly you subtract and you get 60000.
