Answer:
Each person received [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of an apple
Step-by-step explanation:
If [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of an apple was shared equally among the 3 people.
We will divide [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by 3 to find how much apple each person got.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Each person received [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of the whole apple.
