Denise used 1/6 of a bottle of conditioner on her cat peaches, and 1/3 of what was left on her cat butter how much of the bottle of conditioner did she use on butter

Answer 1

Let's break this down step by step.

1. Amount of conditioner used on Peaches: Denise used \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the bottle on Peaches.

2. Amount left after using it on Peaches: Since she started with the entire bottle (which we can think of as 1 whole bottle), the amount left after using \( \frac{1}{6} \) is: \[ 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \]

3. Conditioner used on Butter: Denise then used \( \frac{1}{3} \) of what was left on Butter. The amount left was \( \frac{5}{6} \), so the amount used on Butter is: \[ \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5}{18} \]

4. Conclusion: Thus, Denise used \( \frac{5}{18} \) of the bottle of conditioner on Butter.
