When a retired police officer passes away, he leaves $300,000 to be divided among his three children and six grandchildren. The will specifies that each child is to get twice as much as each grandchild. How much does each get?

Answer:

so first off if its six grandchildren and 3 children then that means 9 people but if the children get double the amount distributed then lets treat it like 12 people so 25,000 each meaning each child of the police officer gets 50 thousand and each grandchild gets 25 thousand

Explanation:

hope this helps !
