According to the man's will, the inheritance should be given in a peculiar way, 1/2 to the eldest son, 1/3 to the middle son, and 1/9 to the youngest son. With 17 camels however, it's not clear how to carry out the father's will. We look at this classic recreational mathematics problem, some variations, and related equations. #mathpuzzle #mathproblems Join Wrath of Math to get exclusive videos, lecture notes, and more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyEKvaxi8mt9FMc62MHcliw/join Check out the coolest math clothes in the world: https://mathshion.com/ More Math Chats: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxXQDmPmSOwXSU9vOHgty1RO Outro music: https://youtube.com/shorts/tfifiSdTZRg Follow Wrath of Math on... ● Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wrathofmathedu ● TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wrathofmathedu ● X: https://x.com/wrathofmathedu 0:00 The Problem 2:02 Solution 3:45 Backgrund 4:51 Variation 1 7:08 Variation 2 10:14 Some Generalization 13:17 Conclusion
