There are 17 camels I want to divide 3 person if the first one belongs 1/2 The second one belongs 1/3 and the third one belongs
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

  1. 9 camels
  2. 6 camels
  3. 2 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.

The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.

The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.

The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.

The one remaining is returned to me.

  • 1st person: 9 camels
  • 2nd person: 6 camels
  • 3rd person: 2 camels

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.

How do I work this out
Iteru [2.4K]
If the track is 10km long, and X travels at 40 km/h, it will take 1 hour to do 4 laps. this means that car X will do one lap in 15 minutes. Y travels at 30 km/h, which means it will do 3 laps in 1 hour, meaning that car X will do 1 lap in 20 minutes.

X- 15, 30, 45, 60
Y-20, 40, 60


Therefore, after an hour, they will pass again.
