A company made 4 million in the second quarter this is 1/3 more than it made in the first quarter and 4/5 of what it made in the third quarter how much did the company make in the three quarters combined

4/5 q3 = 4 so q3 = 5

4/3 q1 = 4 so q1 = 3
5+3+4 = 12 million

To find out how much the company made in the three quarters combined, we need to determine the amounts made in the first, second, and third quarters separately.

Let's start by finding the amount made in the first quarter. We know that the amount made in the second quarter was 1/3 more than the amount made in the first quarter. This means the amount made in the first quarter can be represented as x, and the amount made in the second quarter is 1/3 more than x, or (1 + 1/3)x.

So, the amount made in the second quarter is 4 million. We can set up the equation:

(1 + 1/3)x = 4 million

By multiplying both sides of the equation by 3/4, we can solve for x:

x = (4 million) * (3/4) = 3 million

Therefore, the amount made in the first quarter is 3 million dollars.

Now let's find the amount made in the third quarter. We already know that the amount made in the second quarter was 4/5 of what was made in the third quarter. So, we can represent the amount made in the third quarter as y, and the amount made in the second quarter is 4/5 of y, or (4/5)y.

With the amount made in the second quarter as 4 million, we can set up the equation:

(4/5)y = 4 million

By multiplying both sides of the equation by 5/4, we can solve for y:

y = (4 million) * (5/4) = 5 million

Therefore, the amount made in the third quarter is 5 million dollars.

To find the total amount made in the three quarters combined, we can add the amounts made in each quarter:

Total amount = Amount made in the first quarter + Amount made in the second quarter + Amount made in the third quarter
= 3 million + 4 million + 5 million
= 12 million

So, the company made a total of 12 million dollars in the three quarters combined.
