Debra received 7/8
if you divide 1,000,000 by 125,000 you get 8. which means Ian got 1/8 of the money. leaving 7/8 for Debra

Answer: Fraction of the estate Debra will received is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount shared by Debra and Lan = $1000,000

Amount received by Lan = $125,000

According to question, Debra received the rest.

So, Amount received by Debra is given by

[tex]\$1000000-\$125000\\\\=\$875000[/tex]

Fraction of the estate Debra will receive is given by

[tex]\frac{875000}{1000000}\\\\=\frac{875}{1000}\\\\=\frac{35}{40}\\\\=\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Hence, Fraction of the estate Debra will received is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
