Question

a builder uses 2 by 5 of available land for roads and parks , 3 by 8 for the community hall , and rest in construction of apartment . which of these gets the maximum portion of the land?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

let the total land=x

land used for road=2/5 of x

land used for hall=3/8 of x

remaining part of land=x- (2/5x+3/8x)=x-31/40x=9/40x

maximum share is of land used for land as it has small denominator.

rational number having large denominator has small value and vice versa
