To expand \( \frac{1}{3}(q - 6) \) using the Distributive Property, you multiply \( \frac{1}{3} \) by each term inside the parentheses:
\[
\frac{1}{3}(q) + \frac{1}{3}(-6)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - \frac{6}{3}
\]
Since \( \frac{6}{3} = 2 \), we can simplify further:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]
Thus, the expanded form of \( \frac{1}{3}(q - 6) \) is:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]
\[
\frac{1}{3}(q) + \frac{1}{3}(-6)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - \frac{6}{3}
\]
Since \( \frac{6}{3} = 2 \), we can simplify further:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]
Thus, the expanded form of \( \frac{1}{3}(q - 6) \) is:
\[
\frac{1}{3}q - 2
\]
