B.O'Neill (Math. Social Sciences, 1982) describes a situation from the ancient religious Talmud text on the issue of (fairly) dividing separable estates among 4 individuals, as in a will or testament. You need to compute a solution to this fair division problem.O'Neill'svaluation data for the will/testament problem as contained in the Talmud are as follows;

v(1) = 58.33, v(2) = 24.166, v(3) = 15, v(4) = 10.833, v(1,2) = 90.833, v(1,3) = 80, v(1,4) = 75.833, v(2,3) = 44.166, v(2,4) = 40, v(3,4) = 29.166, v(1,2,3) = 109.166, v(1,2,4) = 105, v(1,3,4) = 95.833, v(2,3,4) = 61.66, v(1,2,3,4) = 120.

Compute the applicable values for each individual in this historical fair division problem (for full credit, I would like to see some version/copy of your calculations showing how you organized and calculated the values).
