d) 1/2
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the cheese Dora got = 1/2

Part of the cheese Nilza got = 1/3

Part of the cheese Mickey have =?

Now,

Part of cheese Mickey have after sharing with Dora = 1- 1/2 = 1/2

Part of cheese Mickey have after sharing reaming part with Nilza = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 (remember Mickey only have 1/2 part of the cheese after sharing it with Dora so we have to subtract 1/3 from reaming part)

Alternate method,
We can add up all the sharing part = 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6
And then subtract it from 1 = 1-5/6 = 1/6
