Question

Sylvia has 6 1/2 boxes of chocolate to share at a picnic. If she gives each person 1/3 of a box, how many people can receive chocolate?

at least 18 people because 3 people share 1 box of chocolates so 6 times three is 18 

Answer 2

19 people can receive the gift. After that, Sylvia has 1/6 of a box left, which she can enjoy as her reward for being so nice to 19 other people.
