(1)/(2)/3\text{ = n}

Here, we want to write the equation that represents the fraction of the whole cake that each of the friends get

What he is siply doing here is that he wants to share the half cake into 3 since each of the friend and himself gets the same size part of the cake

Mathematically, what we have will be;


(1)/(2)/3\text{ = n}
