Somalinet Maths Geniuses, come in

[SultanOrder]

I heard this was done by Imam Ali

[Cirwaaq]

One of the Camels is pregnant we will simply await the birth! Making the total 18

1/2 * 18 = 9
1/3 * 18 = 6
1/9 * 18 = 2

The Wali who had the responsibility of dividing the inheritance can then be paid for his service with the Baby Camel

Everyone is a winner

[TheLoFather]

how do you know one of the camels is pregnant, we have not been told and nor do we have any evidence to suggest as such.

[Cirwaaq]

With that same arguement you did not set any constraints so logically it would have also been perfectly fine to slaughter 1 camel and divide the fractions

There is no absolute answer due the constraints you set!

The solutions are unlimited.

NO! sxb, the will if the dead father clearly states what are been divided (CAMELS), if you slaughter the camel, then the camel is no more and what you have is MEAT and leather. which would mean the will/wishes of the father has not been carried out. since he has asked that the camels be devided amonsgt his 3 sons and did not the meat or other byproducts of the camels.
There is only that one solution to this particular dilemma.

I knew there was more to it

[IRONm@N]

That how fractions was discovered by Muslim Mathematicians, because of Inheritance division, it says in the Quran, 1/2, 1/3, a 1/5, something never heard before.

Algebra was discovered by a dhagocas
