Answer 2

Answer: Fraction of the estate Debra will received is $\frac{7}{8}$

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

$\ 1000000-\ 125000\\\\=\ 875000$

Fraction of the estate Debra will receive is given by

$\frac{875000}{1000000}\\\\=\frac{875}{1000}\\\\=\frac{35}{40}\\\\=\frac{7}{8}$

Hence, Fraction of the estate Debra will received is $\frac{7}{8}$
