To find out how many servings were available, we'll first calculate the total number of slices and then determine how many servings can be made from those slices.
The pizza is cut into 6 slices, and each serving is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a slice.
Now, let's find out how many \( \frac{1}{3} \) slices are in 6 whole slices:
\[
\text{Number of servings} = \text{Total slices} \div \text{Serving size}
\]
\[
\text{Number of servings} = 6 \div \frac{1}{3}
\]
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
\[
\text{Number of servings} = 6 \times 3 = 18
\]
Therefore, there are **18 servings** available.
