Hello!

The answer is:


SmallerSectionFraction=(1)/(6)

Why?

From the statement we know that there is a playground divided into 3 equal sections, then the middle section is divided into 2 smaller sections, we can find what fraction has the middle section by dividing into 2.

So, calculating we have:


SmallerSectionFraction=(FirstFraction)/(2)


SmallerSectionFraction=((1)/(3))/(2)=(1)/(6)

So, the smaller sections will be
(1)/(6) of the original play ground.

Have a nice day!
