[QUOTE="blisters, post: 576752, member: 4992"] The answer is 112g. Let me know if I stuffed up :lol: The son always shovels 1 cubic metre per day so 9 cubes over the 9 days. The father contributes 3 cubes over 9 days. The gold take was: 12x84=1008g Each prospector received over the 9 days: 1008/2 = 504g each The amount of gold they get each cubic metre of dirt they shovelled is: F = 504/3 = 168g/cm S = 504/9 = 56g/cm The difference 168-56 is how much more gold the father gets over the son for each cubic metre of dirt they shovelled The father gets 112g per cube shovelled more than the son :goldnugget: :goldnugget: [/QUOTE]
