An art teacher has a box of markers.
She keeps half of the markers in the box and gives 1/3 of the other half to group A.
Group A gets,
[tex]group\: A=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
So, group A gets 1/6 markers.
The remaining markers were shared equally among 8 students in group B.
Remaining markers means
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3} \\ remaing\: markers=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
So, group B gets
[tex]\text{Group B=}\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
Therefore, each student of group B gets 1/24 of the whole box
