Emily has 1/2 yard of wrapping paper. She will use the same amount of wrapping paper to wrap 3 packages. How much wrapping paper, in yards, will Emily use for each package?

To find out how much wrapping paper Emily will use for each package, we need to divide the total amount of wrapping paper by the number of packages she will wrap.

1/2 yard of wrapping paper / 3 packages = 1/6 yards of wrapping paper per package

Therefore, Emily will use 1/6 yards of wrapping paper for each package.
