1/2

1/18

5/18

1/3

Answer 1

We can first determine how much conditioner Denise used on Peaches. If she used 1/6 of the bottle on Peaches, then there is (1 - 1/6) = 5/6 of the bottle left.

Denise then used 1/3 of what was left on Butter. If there was 5/6 of the bottle left, she used (1/3)*(5/6) = 5/18 of the bottle on Butter.

Therefore, Denise used 5/18 of the bottle of conditioner on Butter.
