Question

Mr. Tan gave a sum of money to his 8 children. His eldest son received 1/3 of the sum and 3 of his other sons received 1/6 each. The remainder was equally shared among his daughters. What was the fraction of money received by each of his daughters?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is total amount then, x-(x/3+3x/6)= 4 daughters share

x-(x/3+x/2)=x-5x/6

so X/6 is all daughters share

X/24 is each daughters share

Answer 2

Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

1-(1/3+3(1/6))= remainder

1/6

shared by 4 daughters

1/6÷4=1/24
