Arya, Abhimanyu and Vivek shared lunch. Arya has brought two sandwiches, one made of vegetable and one of jam. The other two boys forgot to bring their lunch. Arya agreed to share his sandwiches so that each person will have an equal share of each sandwich. (a) How can Arya divide his sandwiches so that each person has an equal share? (b) What part of a sandwich will each boy receive?

Answer:

Total number of sandwiches = 2; Total number of boys = 3 Here, Arya has to divide 2 sandwiches into 3 persons. So, he will divide each sandwich into three equal parts and give one part of each sandwich to each of them. Thus, each person gets 2/3 sandwiches. (b) One sandwich is to be divided among three boys. \[\frac{4}{5}.\] Each boy will get =1/3 part of a sandwich.
