Cada pareja eligió un acre de tierra en el cual ellos querían construir su hogar. El tercer acre fue dejado así hasta que este fue vendido 5 años después a una pareja tercera, los Pettibones, por $25,000.
¿Como deberán repartirse los Jacksons y los Melroses los $25,000 que pagaran los Pettibones?
Two couples, the Jacksons and the Melroses, found a $50,000 parcel of land consisting of 3 acres on which
they wanted to build homes. Because the owner would not split up the 3 acres and neither couple really wanted more
than an acre, they decided to purchase the land together. So the Jacksons put up $20,000 and the Melroses $30,000.
Each couple selected an acre of the land on which they built their home. The third acre was left alone until it was sold 5 years later to a third couple, the Pettibones, for $25,000.
How should the Jacksons and the Melroses split the $25,000 paid by the Pettibones?

Solución:
Los Jacksons son dueños de $20,000/$50,000 = 2/5. Los Melroses son dueños de 3/15 de los 3 acres de el acre que fue vendido a los Pettibones.
Los Jacksons son dueños de 1/5 y los Melroses son dueños de 4/5. Entonces, los Jacksons obtienen $5,000 y los Melroses obtienen $20,000 de los $25,000 pagados por los Pettibones.

Excellent!
Solution:
The Jacksons own $20,000/$50,000 = 2/5. The Melroses, hence, own 3/15 of the 3 acres of the acre sold to the Pettibones.
The Jacksons own 1/5 and The Melroses own 4/5. So the Jacksons get $5,000 and The Melroses get $20,000 of the $25,000 paid by The Pettibones.
