Answer:

Eldest brother = 18 camels

2nd brother = 12 camels

Youngest brother = 4 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

Question posted:

How could we know how many camels actually correspond to each brother?

It is from "the man who calculated":

The question is incomplete without the background information.

Based on the question, It has to do with sharing an inheritance of 35 camels among 3 brothers.

"The man who calculated", by Malba Tahan.

Since the complete question isn't available, we are going to look at the following question to understand how to do the calculation.

Question:

How can an inheritance of 35 camels be divided among three brothers in such a way that the eldest brother gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3 of the total and the youngest brother gets 1/9 of the total camels?

Solution:

Total number of camels= 35

Eldest brother gets half: 1/2 of 35 gives a fraction and not an whole number

2nd brother = 1/3 of 35 (gives a fraction)

3rd brother = 1/9 of 35 (gives a fraction)

Since we can't have a camel in fraction except in whole number, we would look for the closest number to 35 that would be divided by 2, 3 and 9 respectively without giving a fraction.

Number 36 is the closest number to 35 that satisfies this condition.

1st brother = 1/2 × 36 = 18 camels

2nd brother = 1/3 × 36 = 12 camels

3rd brother = 1/9 × 36 = 4 camels

Now let's add the camels the 3 brother got together = 18 + 12 + 4 = 34 camels

Total camels - amount shared = 35 -34 = 1

Meaning one camel is remaining. The distributor would keep the remaining one as that's the way such distributions could be achieved.

Divide 33 photos into 2 groups so the ratio is 4 to 7.
kvv77 [185]
So you want two groups that are in a ratio of 4 to 7
so 33=4x+7x
so 33=11x
so x=3

that means the groups are 4*3= 12 and 7*3=21
