Three students sitting at a table were given 1/2


of a pan of brownies to share. What fraction of the whole pan will each student get if they share the pan of brownies equally?

If there are three students and they are sharing 1/2 of a pan of brownies equally, each student will get 1/2 divided by 3, which is 1/6. So each student will get 1/6 of the whole pan of brownies.
