The amount of money used for scholarship and the fraction of the estate gotten by Miss Maple are :

  • Scholarship amount = $561,600
  • Fraction gotten by Miss Maple = 1/30

The entire fraction of the estate = 1/1

Fraction given to children = 2/3

Fraction left = Total - fraction given to children

Fraction left = 1/1 - 2/3 = 1/3

For scholarship :

1/5 of fraction left :

1/5 of 1/3 = 1/5 × 1/3 = 1 /15

Fraction Given to grand children :

1/5 - 1/15 = 2/15

Amount of money used for scholarship :

1/15 × 8424000 = $561,600

B.)

Since There are four grand children and it was equally shared among them:

Miss Maple is one of the grand children:

Fraction each grandchild gets is :

2/15 ÷ 4

2/15 ÷ 4/1

2/15 × 1/4 = 2/60 = 1/30

Hence, miss Maple will get 1/30
