Question 322900: sam had a farm he left to his 6 kids equally. One of his daughters lisa had four kids and equally left her portion of land to them, what percentage of land does one of lisa's kids own?
Answer by jessica43(140) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Same has 6 kids, so each kid received 1/6 of his farm. One of the kids Lisa divided her 1/6 of land between her four children. So (1/6)/4. This can also be written as:
(1/6)*(1/4) (dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal)
Now you can solve:
(1/6)*(1/4)=
1/24=
0.04167=
4.167%
So each of Lisa's kids own 1/24 or 4.167% of the farm.
