For us to determine the answer to this item, we simply have to divide the given fraction of the great aunt’s property that is to be divided among the cousins by 6.

N = 5/8 / 6

The value of N in the equation is 5/48 or 0.104. Thus, each of the cousins will receive 10% of the great aunt’s property.
