Emily has 1/2 yard of wrapping paper. She will use the same amount of wrapping paper to wrap 3 packages. How much wrapping paper, in yards, will Emily use for each package?

Answer 1

To find out how much wrapping paper Emily will use for each package, we need to divide the total amount of wrapping paper by the number of packages she will wrap.

1/2 yard of wrapping paper / 3 packages = 1/6 yards of wrapping paper per package

Therefore, Emily will use 1/6 yards of wrapping paper for each package.
