Answer:
Mary has two friends over, she wants to split half of a cake she has left over into thirds for her and her friends. 1/2 ÷ 3 is 1/6. This means that each friend will get 1/6 of the full cake.
Step-by-step explanation:
I make up stories and know how to divide fractions. To solve a division problem like this you want to take the 3 and turn it into 3/1. then, flip the 1/2 around to it is 2/1. Then, multiply the two together.
