Answer 2

we are given

Caleb and 2 friends are sharing 1/2 quart of milk equally

It means that

3 friends are getting 1/2 quart of milk

Since, they are sharing this milk equally

so, we can find milk got by each friends

3 friends are getting 1/2 quart of milk

we can divide both sides by 3

each friend gets milk=
`(1)/(2*3)` quart of milk

each friend gets milk=
`(1)/(6)` quart of milk ...............Answer
