Answer 2

Given:

Part of property given to son= 2/5

Part of property given to daughter= 2/5

To find:

Fraction of property given to the servant

Solution:

We can find the solution by following the given steps-

We know that the total of all parts of a fraction is always 1.

Also, the part of the property given to the son= the part of the property given to the daughter.

Let the total property be X.

Son's part= 2X/5

Daughter's part= 2X/5

So, property given to son+ property given to daughter + property given to servant= 1

2X/5+2X/5+ servant's part= 1

4X/5 + servant's part= 1

Servant's part= 1- 4X/5

= X/5

The servant's part is 1/5 of the total property.

Therefore, the fraction of the property given to the servant is 1/5.
