Danny's mom ate 1/6 of an ice cream cake. Danny and his sister want to split the remainder of it. How much of the cake would each get?

If Danny's mom ate 1/6 of the cake, then we have:
1 - 1/6 of the cake left.

We use our fraction subtraction calculator for 1 - 1/6 to get:
5/6

If Danny and his sister split the remainder, then we divide 5/6 by 2. It's also the same as multiplying 5/6 by 1/2:
We use our fraction multiplication calculator to get:
5/12 for Danny and his sister
