Question

a farmer had an l shaped piece of land he wanted to divide for his wife and six children between himself equally how do he do it

Answer 1

Divide the length (along the 'I') of the plot by 8.

Answer 2

First lets see how many of them need it = wife + 6 children + himself = 8
Piece of land is in I shape so it is really easy to divide , just divide it equally among the 8 people.For examples if there are 32 meters of land then each will get 4 meters.
Hope it helps and pls mark as the best answer. :-)
