Inheritance

After death father (♱ 63) remained mother (his wife) and its 3 children. Inheritance by law is that in the first mother will automatically get half of the property and other one-half inherited by heirs which are mother and her 3 children by the same share.

Calculate the resulting share of property that falls to the mother and one child and express it as a percentage.

Correct answer:

M =  62.5 %
D =  12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$M=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{3+1}=\frac{5}{8}=62.5\%$

$D=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{3+1}=\frac{1}{8}=12.5\%$
