one-sixth or 1/6

Elijah is sharing a half a package with his 2 friends, so all together they equal three people. This means that half the package must be broken into 3 equal parts. If the question only asked about half the package, each friend would get one-third. It doesn't! It asks about what fraction of the WHOLE package. For me, the easiest way to do this is to divide the other half of the package into 3 parts as well. This means that the whole package is divided into 6 pieces and each friend only gets one: 1/6 or one-sixth.

alina1380 [7]
I think the answer would be A. Persuasive essays should be debatable and it would be hard to find something no one else has written about. However, you shouldn’t try to persuade a fact that has already been proven. Hope this helped!
