Half of $36 would be $18. $18 divided by 3 would be $6. $6 times 2 would be $12. Half comes from the 1/2 of money spent on Thursday. Dividing it by 3 comes from the remainder on Wednesday. We divide it by 3 since the denominator of 2/3 is 3. We then multiply it by 2, since the numerator in 2/3 is 2.
