Land ProblemMath brain teasers require computations to solve.A, B, and C each had land: am^2 (m^2=square meters), bm^2, and cm^2 (this is c square meter, not square centimeter!) big. A sold 1/4 of his land to B, then B sold 1/3 of the land he had (after he bought land from A) to C. If A, B, and C now have the same amount of land, what does (b+c)/a equal to?
