Answer

320,000\text{320,000}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Let VV be the total value of the estate.

    We are given that 38\frac{3}{8} of the estate is valued at 120,000.

  2. Set up the equation.

    38V=120,000\frac{3}{8} V = 120,000
  3. Solve for VV.

    To isolate VV, multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 38\frac{3}{8}, which is 83\frac{8}{3}.

    V=120,000×83V = 120,000 \times \frac{8}{3} V=120,000×83V = \frac{120,000 \times 8}{3} V=960,0003V = \frac{960,000}{3} V=320,000V = 320,000

    The total value of the estate is 320,000\text{320,000}.
