1/18

Explanation:

5/6 of an estate is to be divided among relatives

Let the total estate = 1

Remaining estate = 1 - 5/6

= 6-5/6

= 1/6 of the estate

Of the remaining a state 1/3 goes to the American cancer society

what fraction of the estate goes to the American Cancer Society

= 1/3 × 1/6

= 1/18

The fraction of the estate that goes to the American Cancer Society = 1/18
