This may help:

There are
(1)/(3) gallons of lemonade.

Two friends share the lemonade.

What fraction of the lemonade does each friend receive?

To solve you do kcf or keep change flip.

You keep
(1)/(3) and change division to multiplication.

Then
(2)/(1) is changed to
(1)/(2)

The answer would be
(1)/(6)

Hope That Helps!
