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 \(\frac{7}{8}\)
