Three brothers Aslam, Akbar and Akram share 480 kg of rice. Akram receives twice rice as much as Aslam and Akbar receives half rice as much as Akram. How much rice does Akram gets?
Explanation
Let's denote the amount of rice Aslam gets as x.
Akram gets twice as much as Aslam: 2x
Akbar gets half as much as Akram: (1/2)(2x) = x
The total amount of rice is 480 kg, so:
x + 2x + x = 480
4x = 480
x = 120
Akram gets 2x = 2(120) = 240 kg
