You make a large bowl of salad to share with your friends. Your brother eats 1/3 of it before they come over. You want to divide the leftover salad among 6 friends.
you would have 2/3 left so 2/3 ÷ 6 and that would turn into 2/3 × 6/1 and that would turn into 2/3 × 1/6 which would equal 2/18 which would simplify 1/9
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{9}\) of the salad.
Step-by-step explanation:
You make a large bowl of salad to share with your friends.
Your brother eats \(\frac{1}{3}\) of it.
Now the leftover salad = 1 - \(\frac{1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{3-1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{2}{3}\)
You want to divide the leftover salad among 6 friends.
\(\frac{2}{3}\) ÷ 6
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) × \(\frac{1}{6}\)
= \(\frac{2}{18}\)
= \(\frac{1}{9}\)
Each friend gets \(\frac{1}{9}\) of the salad.
