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

Answer 1

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}.
