Lucian Robles · Answer 1

1/3 of his land

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is gone. he divides the other half into 1/3,1/4,1/4. son gets 1/2 - 1/3 which is 1/6. daughter gets 1/2-1/4 which is 1/4. the orphanage also gets 1/4. add them altogether 1/6+1/4+1/4=2/3 so 2/3 of his half land is gone to the people he shared with. 2/3 of the 1/2 land = 2/3 of 1/2=1/3
