Question

A man has 19 horses which has to be divided bet ween three person 1 to his son 1/2 to his daughter 1/4 and to his servant 1/5 how much will each get.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the son got 10 horses

the daughter got 5 horses

and the servant got 4 horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

son's share= 1/2

daughter's share= 1/4

servant's share= 1/5

take the l.c.m. and make the share equal so that it could be written in ratio

l.c.m. of 2,4,5 = 20.

therefore, share of-

son = 10/20

daughter = 5/20

servant = 4/20

So, the ratio will be 10:5:4

now, share of-

Son = 19*10/20 = 9.5 or 10(round-off)

Daughter = 19*5/20 = 4.75 or 5(round-off)

Servant = 19*4/20 = 3.8 or 4(round-off)
