4 Brothers inherit 30 and 1/2 acres of land all together. They decide to share equally. How much land does each brother get?

Each brother get 7⅝ acres of the land

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Number of brother = 4

Land inherited in acres = 30½ = 61/2

Since they are sharing the land equally, simple division would solve this, where we will need to find how much land that will go to each brother by dividing the total land inherited in acres by the number of brothers.

i. e

How much land for each brother = Land inherited in acres / number of brothers

How much land for each brother = (61/2) / 4

= 61/2 * 1/4

= 61/8 = 7⅝

Therefore each brother get 7⅝ acres of the land

30 and 1/2 = 30 1/2 = 30.5

4 brothers share 30.5 acres equally

30.5 divided by 4 = 30.5/4 = 7.625

each brother gets 7.625 acres of land
