Answer:

Each friend will get
(1)/(18) of whole pan of corn bread

Explanation:

As given,

Corn bread left =
(1)/(3)

Total number of friends = 2

So the left bread will divide into 2 parts

So, each person will get =
(1)/(2) (
(1)/(3) ) =
(1)/(6) of the left bread

Now,

Left bread =
(1)/(3) of whole bread

And

Each person get =
(1)/(6) of the left bread

=
(1)/(6) ×
(1)/(3) of whole bread

=
(1)/(18)of whole bread

∴ we get

Each friend will get
(1)/(18) of whole pan of corn bread
