Answer: 1/6 quart

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, Ash has ½ a quart of orange juice that is left in his fridge after Squirtle drank some and he wants to divide the remaining juice between breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Therefore, the quart that he can drink with each meal will be gotten by dividing 1/2 by 3 since he'll have the meal 3 times. This will be:

= 1/2 ÷ 3

= 1/2 × 1/3

= 1/6 quart
