(a) 1/5
(b) 1/6
(c) 5/6
(d) 1/3
Solution :
Let us assume that, total chocolate was x gm..
as given that, my friend have (1/3) of chocolate .
So,
→ Chocolate my friend have = (1/3) of x = (x/3) gm.
Now, given that, he gave (1/2) of his share to me.
So,
→ chocolate he gave to me = (1/2) of (x/3) = (x/6) gm.
Therefore,
→ Part of chocolate i ate = (x/6) out of x = (x/6) ÷ x = (x/6) * (1/x) = (1/6) (Ans.)
Hence i ate 1/6 part of Chocolate.

Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple distribution question.
We are told that our friend has 1/3 of chocolate which means he has only 1 portion of chocolate out of 3 portions.
Now he offered me half of that chocolate which he had; this means that he divided his portion of 1/3 of chocolate into further two parts. This can be written mathematically as ;
= 1/3 ÷ 2
= 1/3 × 1/2
= 1/6
So this means that I will get 1/6 portion of chocolate to eat
