Welcome back catherinendwiga2016 — missed you this week. Step 1: Determine the fraction of money the youngest boy received. The youngest boy received $\frac{1}{2}$ of the total money. Step 2: Calculate the remainder after the youngest boy's share. The remainder is the total money minus the youngest boy's share. $$1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$ So, $\frac{1}{2}$ of the total money remained. Step 3: Determine the fraction of money the next boy received. The next boy received $\frac{1}{4}$ of the remainder. $$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$$ So, the next boy received $\frac{1}{8}$ of the total money. Step 4: Determine the fraction of money the eldest boy received. The eldest boy received the remaining money. This is the remainder from Step 2 minus the next boy's share. $$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8}$$ To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 8. $$\frac{4}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}$$ The eldest boy received $\frac{3}{8}$ of the total money. The fraction of the money the eldest received is $\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}$. Send me the next one 📸
