A = 2/3......remainder 1/3
B = 1/4(1/3) = 1/12
2/3 + 1/12 = 8/12 + 1/12 = 9/12 reduces to 3/4 remainder 1/4
C = 1/3(1/4) = 1/12
3/4 + 1/12 = 9/12 + 1/12 = 10/12 reduces to 5/6 remainder 1/6
so Gana gets 1/6
check...
adam gets 2/3 or 8/12
ben gets 1/12
cathy gets 1/12
Gana gets 1/6 or 2/12
added = 12/12 or 1....correct
Dana gets 1/6 <==

I went to the shops with my friend after school. We bought lollies to eat in the park. We sat and ate the lollies together as we chatted. Another friend of ours was walking by and came over to join us.
