Joe has 1/2 of a cake he would like to split among 3 people . What part of the cake will each person get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are dividing up half 3 ways. 1/2 divided by 3 is (1/2) x (1/3).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide the 1/2 cake into 3 parts (1/2)/3 = 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
