Answer:

Each person received [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of an apple

Step-by-step explanation:

If [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  of an apple was shared equally among the 3 people.

We will divide [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by 3 to find how much apple each person got.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  × [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Each person received [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of the whole apple.
