To find out how much wrapping paper Emily uses for each package, we need to divide the total amount of wrapping paper by the number of packages.
Emily has \( \frac{1}{2} \) yard of wrapping paper and she uses the same amount for 3 packages. So, we divide \( \frac{1}{2} \) by 3:
\[
\text{Wrapping paper per package} = \frac{1/2}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}
\]
Thus, the amount of wrapping paper Emily will use for each package is \( \frac{1}{6} \) yard.
The correct answer is **A 1/6**.
