Well, it seems like Lisa is quite generous! Let's do some math here. Lisa used 1/2 of her lottery win to buy a house and gave 1/6 to charity, which means she has 1 - 1/2 - 1/6 = 1/3 of her lottery win left.

Now, she shared this 1/3 equally among her 4 children. We can divide 1/3 by 4 by multiplying the numerator (1) by 1 and the denominator (3) by 4. So each child received (1/3) * (1/4) = 1/12 of Lisa's lottery win.

Therefore, each of Lisa's 4 children received 1/12 of her lottery win. I hope those little rascals appreciate their share!

To find out the fraction of Lisa's lottery win that each of her 4 children received, we need to calculate the remainder of her lottery win after buying a house and giving to charity.

Let's start by calculating the fraction of the lottery win Lisa used to buy a house. Lisa used 1/2 of her lottery win, so this fraction represents the portion she spent on the house.

Next, we calculate the fraction of her lottery win that Lisa gave to charity, which is 1/6.

To find the remaining fraction, we subtract the fractions used for the house and charity from the total.

Remaining fraction = 1 - (1/2 + 1/6)
= 1 - (3/6 + 1/6)
= 1 - 4/6
= 1/6

So, the remainder of Lisa's lottery win is 1/6.

Lisa then divided this remaining amount equally amongst her 4 children. To determine the fraction each child received, we divide the remaining fraction by the number of children she shared it with.

Fraction each child received = Remaining fraction / Number of children
= 1/6 / 4
= 1/6 * 1/4
= 1/24

Therefore, each of Lisa's 4 children received 1/24 of her lottery win.
