Answer 1

Given

Jake has 18 candy

Gave bob 1/3 and from candy remaining he gave Dana 1/6

Procedure

First let's calculate the amount of candy given to Bob.

Bob

`(1)/(3)\cdot18=6\text{candys}`

Remaining candy

`18-6=12\text{candys}`

Dana

`12\cdot(1)/(6)=2\text{ candy}`

Remaining

`12-2=10\text{ candy}`

The amount of candy left for Jack is 10 candy
