text: funny question: but could be proved in three different ways that i know of......? when i told my grandpa that i am gonna divide 25% of the property shares amongst 5 of us brothers, getting each of us 1/5th of the property, he said i am cheating him.... 1/5th (ie. if we divide 25 with 5) of 25 is not 5 but 14!!!!! though it was a shock to me, as i was thinking so far that i am very good in maths, but the possibility of getting the answer he said gave a new direction to me, though i know it is wrong.... so my good friends, why don't you try dividing 25 with 5 and get the result 14? 25% ?  1/4 x 1/5 = 1/20  14/0.05 = 280???  sorry, but what the hell are you on about????
