← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from Al-Khwarizmi's algebraic method for balancing equations when applied to inheritance divisions?
A)Equitable fractional share calculations✓
B)Simplified geometric land surveying
C)Quicker celestial navigation predictions
D)Standardized musical ratio harmonies
💡 Explanation
When Al-Khwarizmi's balancing methods from algebra were applied to inheritance problems, complex divisions were simplified because the methods allowed determination of unknown fractional shares making equitable division of property possible. Therefore, fractional share calculations resulted, rather than surveying, navigation, or harmonies which required different mathematical techniques.
