Question

A farmer has a field of area 49 4/5 hectare. He wants to divide it equally among his own son and two daughters. Find the area of each one’s share.

Answer 1

Area of the field = 49 4/5 hectare
= 249/ 5 hectare

Now there are 3 children.

So 249/5 ÷ 3
= 249/5 x 1/3
= 83/5 Hectare.

Each child will get 83/5 Hectare.

In Short your Answer will be : 83/5 Hectare
Hope This Helps.

Answer 2

Total area of the field = 49 4/5 ha.=249/5 ha
The farmer has one son and two daughters, i.e., 3 children to divide his field equally.
Area of each one's share = (249/5)/3
=83/5 ha (or) 16.6 ha.
