← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when Al-Khwarizmi introduced algebraic methods for inheritance distribution problems?
A)Standardized legal code developed rapidly
B)Improved land surveying and mapmaking
C)Fractional heir shares became consistently calculable✓
D)Trade routes were optimized mathematically
💡 Explanation
When Al-Khwarizmi applied algebra, solving for unknowns in inheritance became methodized because algebraic equations could represent proportional ownership fractions. Therefore consistently calculable fractional shares resulted, rather than legal codes, surveying, or trade optimization, which require other systems.
