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?

Respuesta :

Let the total candy bar be represented by x.

Amount of chocolate Kaitlyn gave to Arianna = [tex] \frac{1}{2}x [/tex]

Amount of chocolate Arianna gave Cameron 

= [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] rd of the candy she got from Kaitlyn to Cameron

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

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

Hence, Cameron got [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] th of the original chocolate.
