Problema Solution

Pierre Hugo is handling the estate of a prominent businesswoman. The will states that the surviving spouse is to receive one fourth

1/4 of the estate and the remaining three fourths

of the estate will be divided equally among five surviving children. What fraction of the estate does each child​ receive?

Assuming each of the 5 children gets equal part we have:

(1/5)*(3/4) = 3/20

Each child receives 3/20 of the estate.
