Question

A woman divided her collection of 1,200 books into 10 equal parts. She gave 3 portions to her husband, 4 portions to her daughter, and the rest equally to three nieces. How many books did her daughter receive?

Answer 1

Answer: Her daughter received 480 books

Explanation:

Total collection of books =1,200

Total collection of books divided into 10 equal parts =1,200/10 = 120

Number of books given to her husband= 3 portions which means

120 x 3 =360books

Number of books given to her daughter=4 portions which means

120 x 4 =480books

The remaining which equals 3 portions were given to her three nieces.
