y=2/3 orange for each friend (decimal: 0.6667 rounded to 4d. p)
PREMISES
y=the fraction of 2 oranges that each of 3 friends shares equally
CALCULATIONS
To distribute 2 oranges equally between 3 friends requires that the oranges be sliced proportionately equal to the number of friends which is 3
So, then,
y=
Each friend receives 1/3 of each of 2 oranges making 2/3 orange for each friend.
If y=2/3 orange, then the equations
3*2/3 orange=2 oranges
6/3 oranges=2 oranges and
2 oranges=2 oranges prove the solution y=2/3 orange to the fraction of 2 oranges shared by each of 3 friends
