Uta,Piper,and Hoku own 1,000 acres of land as tenants in common.Part of the land borders an interstate highway,another part borders a farm-to-market road,and part is scarred with deep erosion and gullies.The three want to divide the land into separate parcels for each of them,but cannot agree.Discuss how a court will resolve the problem.
