Question 252899
woman has 1/4 of the business.


each man has 1/4 of the business.


one man gives woman 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8.


another man gives woman 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12.


woman has 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/12 of the business.


LCD (least common denominator) appears to be 24.


1/4 * 6/6 = 6/24
1/8 * 3/3 = 3/24
1/12 * 2/2 = 2/24


woman has 6/24 + 3/24 + 2/24 = 11/24 of the business.


you can confirm this easily by assuming the business is worth 24 units.


each has 1/4 which means each owns 6 units.


woman has 6 units.


one man gives her 1/2 of 6 = 3 units.


another man gives her 1/3 of 6 = 2 units.


the woman now owns 6 + 3 + 2 = 11 units out of the 24.


your answer would be selection B (11/24).
