A man gave 4cedis 50 pesetas to his children ,Abraham,Sylvia and fred Abraham received twice as much as Sylvia and Sylvia received thrice as much as Fred.Find how much Abraham received

1 answer

Let's assume that Fred received x cedis 50 pesetas.
So, Sylvia received 3x cedis 50 pesetas.
And Abraham received 2 * (3x cedis 50 pesetas) = 6x cedis 50 pesetas.
Given that the total amount of money given was 4 cedis 50 pesetas,
x + 3x + 6x = 4.5
10x = 4.5
x = 4.5 / 10
x = 0.45 cedis 50 pesetas
Therefore, Abraham received 6 * 0.45 cedis 50 pesetas = 2.7 cedis 50 pesetas. Answer: \boxed{2.7}.
