Question

Your uncle passed away and left you and your siblings his private property. He owned a 180 acre ranch and there are 3 of you. Each acre is valued at approximately $3,000. This means the monetary value for each sibling will be:

Answer 1

Total acre of property = 180 acres
Each sibling will receive = 180/3
= 60 acres
If 1 acre = $3000
Then 60acres = 60• 3000
=$180,000
Therefore, the monetary value for each sibling will be $180,000

Answer 2

Find the total value by multiplying total acres by price per acre:

180 x 3000 = $540,000

Divide total value by number of siblings:

540,000 / 3 = $180,000

Answer: $180,000
