Answer:
Each of the three friends will get one-sixth of the Thomas's enitre marble collection.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of the total marble collection brought by Thomas = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now, Thomas divides these marbles equally among his three friends. So, each of the three friends will get one-third of the total marble collection brought by Thomas.
Fraction of total marble collection got by each friend = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \;of\;fraction\;of\;total\;marble\;collection\;brought\;by\;Thomas[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
∴ Each of the three friends of Thomas will get one-sixth of his entire collection of marbles.
