Answer 1

Answer:

She uses $\frac{1}{12}$ of the sheet of paper to make the flower.

Step-by-step explanation:

She cuts 1/2 of a piece of paper.

Of what was cut, she used 1/6 to make a piece.

What fraction of the sheet of paper does she use to make the flower?

A sixth of one half. So

$\frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{12}$

She uses $\frac{1}{12}$ of the sheet of paper to make the flower.
