Question

Luke has 1/3 of a package of dried apricots. He divides the dried apricots equally into 3 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags to a friend and keeps the other two bags for himself. What fraction of the oringial package of dried apricots did Luke keep for himself?

Answer 1

1/3 ÷ 3 =
`(1)/(9)` for each

Luke will stay with a total of:


`(1)/(9)` (x 3) =
`(3)/(9)`


`(3)/(9) - (1)/(9) = (2)/(9)`

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

Answer: 2/9


Step-by-step explanation:


`\cfrac{1}{3} / 3 = \cfrac{1}{3} * \cfrac{1}{3} = \cfrac{1}{9}`


`\cfrac{1}{3} - \cfrac{1}{9} = \cfrac{3}{9} - \cfrac{1}{9} = \cfrac{2}{9}`
