Share of a Garden



     My friend owns a small rose garden in Bangalore.

       My sister lalitha has a share of 3/5 of it, and my sister Vasantha has twice as much has myself. What fraction of the field belongs to me?

Answer:   2/15: The two pertinent equations are:
B+C = 2/5
And B = 2C
From these we are able to obtain
3C =2/5 or C 2/15
