g represents a grandchild's share
2g represents a child's share
10g represents the wife's share
4(g) + 3(2g) + 10g = 650000
Can you solve for g and answer?

Let poses "x" the amount of money eache one of the grandchildrens will get .Each children will get " 2x " and the wife will get "10x" . ---------------------------------------------------------- solving this equation : 4x+3*(2x)+10x = 650 we will get x= 32.5 $ that mean the wife will get an amount of money equal to 10x= 325 $02/17/19
