Hi, can someone please work this out for me.

If theres Kid 1. His Mums Mum (Kid 1s Grandma), take her Dad, take his Dad, he was French. Everyone else is Maltese.
Kid 1s Dad is full Armenian, what makes Kid 1? I'd like the answer as like a 1/8 this ect.

If theres Kid 2. Take her Dads Mum, her Mum was Half Greek Half Armenian (Every one else in the line is Armenian).
Kid 2s Mum is full Armenian. What makes Kid 2?

If Kid 1 and Kid 2 have a Child, what is the Child?

Enjoy to whoeva can work it out thanks

Re: Need Help From A Math Guru

The diagram for the 2nd child really helps.   Do you have one for the 1st child?

2nd child:   The kid's dad's mum is 3/4 Armenian and 1/4 greek.  That means her dad is 7/8 Armenian and 1/8 Greek.   That means she is 15/16 Armenian and 1/16 Greek.

The 1st child is a little more difficult because I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  Sounds like his grandma's grandpa was French.  So his grandma would be be 1/4 French and 3/4 Maltese.   His mom would be 7/8 Maltese and 1/8 French.   His Dad is full Armenian so he is 1/2 Armenian, 7/16 Maltese and 1/16 French.

Now if these 2 kids have a child together, he/she would be 15/32 Armenium and 1/32 Greek on his her mom's side and 1/4 Armenian, 7/32 Maltese and 1/32 French on his/her dad's side.   That makes 1/32 Greek, 1/32 French, 23/32 Armenian and 7/32 Maltese.   

I qualify this answer with a big "I think".
