Answer: Paul gets £186
Step-by-step explanation:
Paul has 1/2 as much as Malachy, and Brian has 1/3 as much Paul, therefore Brian has 1/6 as much as Malachy.
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
So Malachy’s amount equals 1 in this equation, Paul’s amount equals 1/2 in this equation, and Brian’s amount equals 1/6 in this equation.
1 + 1/2 + 1/6 = 1 + 3/6 + 1/6 = 1 4/6
Now, divide 620 by 1 4/6 to find Malachy’s amount.
620/1 4/6 = 372
Now, divde 372 by 2 to get Paul’s amount.
372/2 = 186
No solution because the absolute value equals a negative number and it can only equal a positive number
