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 1/9. How many camels does each one get?

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.

Comment on the question

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.

i hope this : )

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
