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.

Respuesta :

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:

[tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] of the salad.

Step-by-step explanation:

You make a large bowl of salad to share with your friends.

Your brother eats  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of it.

Now the leftover salad = 1 -  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

                                      =  [tex]\frac{3-1}{3}[/tex]

                                      =  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

You want to divide the leftover salad among 6 friends.

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ 6

=  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ×  [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{2}{18}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Each friend gets  [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] of the salad.
