Mrs.smith divided one square mile of land to her 3 children,amy,brianna ,and chad.
1 mile is divided among each children . so the fraction of land each one get is [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Amy's land = [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Brianna's land = [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Chad's land = [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Amy decided to divide her portion of the land equally between her 2 children.
We know Amys land = 1/3
1/3 is divided among two children so we divide the fraction by 2
[tex] \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{2} [/tex]= [tex] \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] fraction of mrs. smith's land one of amy's children own.
Chad divided his land equally among his 6 children
We know Amys land = 1/3
1/3 is divided among 6 children so we divide the fraction by 6
[tex] \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{6} [/tex]= [tex] \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
= [tex] \frac{1}{18} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{18} [/tex] fraction of mrs. smith's land one of Chad's children own.
