A man made a will in which he left 4/9 of his money to his wife and 2/5 of the remainder to his eldest child. The rest was shared equally among his four younger children. If each of the younger children received #108000; what was the wife's share?

Answer 1

started with m
gave (4/9)m leaving (5/9) m in pocket
gave (2/5)(5/9) m to child = (2/9)m to child leaving 5/9-2/9 = (1/3) m in pocket
gave (1/3)(1/4)m to each child = (1/12)m = #108000
m = 12 * #108000
now the wife got (4/9) of m
