An inheritance

An inheritance of P1,500,000 will be divided in the following manner: Rene 2/5, Maria 2/5, and Martha 1/5. Find the amount each heir will inherit.

Correct answer:

R =  600000 P
M =  600000 P
A =  300000 P

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=1500000\text{P} \\ R=\frac{2}{5}\cdot a=\frac{2}{5}\cdot 1500000=\frac{2\cdot 1500000}{5}=\frac{3000000}{5}=600000\text{P} \end{gathered}$$

$M=R=600000=600000\text{P}$

$A=\frac{1}{5}\cdot a=\frac{1}{5}\cdot 1500000=\frac{1\cdot 1500000}{5}=\frac{1500000}{5}=300000\text{P}$
