We can first determine how much conditioner Denise used on Peaches. If she used 1/6 of the bottle on Peaches, then there is (1 - 1/6) = 5/6 of the bottle left.
Denise then used 1/3 of what was left on Butter. If there was 5/6 of the bottle left, she used (1/3)*(5/6) = 5/18 of the bottle on Butter.
Therefore, Denise used 5/18 of the bottle of conditioner on Butter.
To find out how much of the bottle of conditioner Denise used on Butter, we need to calculate 1/3 of what was left after using 1/6 on Peaches.
First, let's figure out how much was left after using 1/6 on Peaches. Since 1/6 is equal to 2/12, Denise used 2/12 of the bottle on Peaches.
To find out how much was left, we need to subtract 2/12 from 1. So, 1 - 2/12 = 12/12 - 2/12 = 10/12.
Now, we can calculate 1/3 of what was left by multiplying it by 1/3.
(10/12) * (1/3) = (10 * 1) / (12 * 3) = 10/36 = 5/18.
So, Denise used 5/18 of the bottle of conditioner on Butter.
Therefore, the answer is 5/18.
