Solution
By adding the aunt’s camel,
The number of camels became 20.
- First daughter’s share
= `1/2` of 20
= `1/2 xx 20`
= 10 - Second daughter’s share
= `1/4` of 20
= `1/4 xx 20`
= 5 - Third daughter’s share
= `1/5` of 20
= `1/5 xx 20`
= 4
10 + 5 + 4 = 19 When the daughters counted their camels, they found that there were in total 19 camels to be divided among them in total.
The division of 19 camels among 3 daughters in the given fractions was possible only when the aunt included her camel.
