Question

a man gave 5/12 of his property to his wife ,4/9 to his daughter and the remaining to his son. what part of the property did his son receive?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be share of son

Then,

Total value of share = 5/12+6/12+x

Where 5/12 , and 6/12 is wife and daughters share respectively

So son's share X = 1 — (5/12+6/12)

= 1 — 11/12

= 1/12

Answer 2

Answer:

35/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use ratio method

Suppose total property is 12

Now he gave 5 to his wife

Now remaining property is 7

He gave to the daughter 7*4/9 = 28/9

Now remaining property to his son = 7*5/9 = 35/9
