Question

nina and philip cut mr ferguson lawn nina worked alone on her half but philip shared his half equally with his friends ezra and benjamin what fraction of the earings should each person get

Answer 1

first of all i would ask the teacher to define what "should" means, because i feel nina SHOULD get half the earnings and philip SHOULD get the other half, whatvere philip decides to do with his half,whether he wants to share it with the friends that helped him cut his half or not is his deal. and then if you dont want to do that then the simple answer is nine gets half and the rest get a sixth
