Question

Debra and Ian shared in a 1,000,000 estate. If Ian received 125,000, and Debra the rest, what fraction of the estate did Debra receive?

Answer 1

To calculate the fraction of the estate that Debra received, we first need to calculate the amount of Debra did receive. We calculate as follows:

Amount Debra received = 1000000 - 125000 = 875000

Fraction Debra received = 875000 / 1000000 = 0.875

Hope this answers the question.
