can u give me the answer

It means daniel has given away 2 erasers in total. so fraction of erasers given away is 2/6 = 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If Daniel starts out with 6 erasers, but then gives 2 away, he then has 4 erasers. He gave up 2 erasers from the 6 erasers that he began with, so he lost 2/6 erasers. If you divide the GCF (greatest common factor) of 2 and 6, it is 2, so you divide 2/6 by 2 and get 1/3. The answer is 1/3 erasers.
