It would be 1/9. Imagen having to share a Apple, if you have only one friend you have to split it in half 1/2 but if your with 8 more friends and you include your self that’ll be 9 people In total and you will get one of the nine slices 1/9 which it’s just a bit.

If I am correct, you are asking someone to find the smallest fraction.

The answer is C) 1/9

Here's why:

You want to divide the first or top number by the second or bottom number.

The option A) 6/7 is equal to 0.85714285714

The option B) 2/3 is equal to 0.6666666666

The option D) 1/2 is equal to 0.5000000000

The option C) 1/9 is equal to 0.111111111111111111

You want to find there SMALLEST decimal. Which is 1/9 or 0.1111111
