Question

Kaitlyn gave 1/2 of her candy bar to arianna. arianna gave 1/3 of the candy she got from kaitlyn to cameron. what fraction of a candy bar did cameron get?

Answer 1

Let the total candy bar be represented by x.

Amount of chocolate Kaitlyn gave to Arianna = $\frac{1}{2}x$

Amount of chocolate Arianna gave Cameron 

= $\frac{1}{3}$ rd of the candy she got from Kaitlyn to Cameron

= $\frac{1}{3}$ × $\frac{1}{2}x$

= $\frac{1}{3}* \frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{6} x$

Hence, Cameron got $\frac{1}{6}$ th of the original chocolate.
