Question

A plot of land c600 sq m in area is divided between two persons such that the first person geys the three fifth of what the second gets find share of each

Answer 1

Total area = 600

Second person het = x

First person get = 3x/5

x + 3x/5 = 600

5x + 3x = 600 x 5

8x = 600 x 5

x = 75 x 5  = 375

Area First person gets = 3x/5 = 225m²  (or 600 - 375 = 225)

Area second person gets = x = 375m²
