Answer:
man sold 1/2 of his land. He gave 1/2 of the remaining portion to his son and 1/3 of the remaining to his daughter. What fraction of his land is left with him?
After selling his land he had 12 of the land left (in the beginning he had 1 and he gave 12 so 1−12=12 ).
Now of this half he gave half to his son. So how much did his son got from the original land? 14 ( 12⋅12=14 ) that leaves himself with 14 and from this he gave 13 to his daughter so she got 112 ( 14⋅13 ) of the original land and now he has 14−112=312−112=212=16 .
He has 16 of his land left.
