Have a great week end!

I have No Horses, Nor Other Valuables to give to my 3 children.
So I don't have to let them fight over Nothing. 
Have a great weekend, Mrs. Cho.

Dear Mrs. Cho:
I want to utilize my grammar school math and solve this question easily without bothering the good-natured farmer:
First here is the share of three sons:
The oldest 1/2,
the second 1/3
the third 1/9
In this case we'll have to get the common denominator(공통분모) which will be 18.
To refresh your calculation technique, you can come up with whole numbers out of 18 divided by the 2, 3, or 9.
So it happens that the oldest share has to be 1/2 X 18 = 9, the second 1/3 X 18 = 6, and the third 1/9 X 18 = 2.
This primitive algebra will always win.
Thank you.

Dear Dr. 정,
Problem was the father left only 17 horses.
To have the denominator, 18,
they needed to come up with one extra horse.
What a smart and wise farmer their neighbor was!
I never thought of making the number to 18!
(I wasn't much of Algebra student, ㅎ ㅎ )
Would it be possible applying this wise math(metaphor)
to solve the current world's chaos?
(And again, I am not much of politician at all!)
Thank you for your comment, 정선생님.

Dear Mrs. Cho:

I acklnowledge that my meager math knowledge is no match to the farmer's vast wisdom.
Thank you for enlightening me.
Have a great day.
