Answer: 2/3

Jenna had 3 boxes of cocoa and gave away 2, for each friend the fraction is 1/3 therefore 1/3 +1/3 =2/3.... the final fraction is 2/3.

Answer: 2/3

Explanation:

total, Jenna had 3/3, then she gave 1/3 to two of her friends. Which makes the total boxes 2/3 of what she gave away with a remaining of 1/3. (1 box of the three boxes)
