Sunday Times Teaser 2635 – Three Sisters
by Nick MacKinnon
A father shared his estate among his three daughters with each getting a fraction of it.

The largest fraction was less than three times the smallest and each fraction recurred after three places when expressed in decimal form (e.g. 0.abcabc…).
Each of the digits 1 to 9 occurred in one of these three decimals.
What were the three fractions?
