Question

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.
$\left(a\right)$ How can Arya divide his sandwiches so that each person has an equal share?
$\left(b\right)$ What part of a sandwich will each boy receive?

Answer 1

$\left(a\right)$

Arya can divide each of his sandwiches into three equal parts so that each person has an equal share of both the sandwiches.

$\left(b\right)$

The part of the sandwich received by each of them will be $\frac{1}{3}$ of each sandwich. Thus, each boy will receive one-third part of each sandwich.

i.e., part of a sandwich will each boy receive $=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$

So, each boy receives $\frac{2}{3}$ sandwiches
