If a jug of water is 1/2 full and there are 3 children sharing the water equally, we can calculate how much water each child gets by dividing the amount of water by the number of children.
1. The amount of water in the jug is 1/2.
2. Divide this amount by the number of children:
\[
\frac{1/2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}
\]
So, each child gets \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the full jug.
Thus, the correct response is:
**1/6**
1. The amount of water in the jug is 1/2.
2. Divide this amount by the number of children:
\[
\frac{1/2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}
\]
So, each child gets \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the full jug.
Thus, the correct response is:
**1/6**
