Six Minutes to Answer This.
A Western ranchman called
[j hls children together and an
j; nounced that he proposed to
I distribute among them, a small
I I herd of cows.
"Now, John," he said to the
I «West, "you may take as many |i
cows as you think you can con
I viently care for, and your wife
Nancy may take one-ninth of
j. what are left." To the second j;
I eon he said: "Ham, you may
I take one more than John took
j and to your good wife Sally I i
will also give none-ninth of il
'Achat remain."
In like manner he dealt with
the next son, giving him one |
more than Sara took, and to his
wife, one-ninth of tho remaind
er. Thus he continued with
the younger sons and their
wives until the entire herd was
disposed of.
It then became apparent that
the distribution had been most
equitable for each of the seven
families received a like num
ber of cows.
How many cows were In the
herd?
