Question

Carlos has 1/2 of a sub sandwich. He wants to share it between himself and 2 friends How much

of the sandwich will they each get?

Answer 1

They will each get 1/6 of the sub, but 1/3 of the half sub.

Explanation:

• As we know, there are 3 people, so divide 1/2 by 3.
• This gives them each 1/3 of the 1/2 sub.
• Or, this gives them 1/6 of the whole sub before it was split into 1/2.
