Answer 1

Given

Jake has 18 candy

Gave bob 1/3 and from candy remaining he gave Dana 1/6

Procedure

First let's calculate the amount of candy given to Bob.

Bob

$\frac{1}{3}\cdot18=6\text{candys}$

Remaining candy

$18-6=12\text{candys}$

Dana

$12\cdot\frac{1}{6}=2\text{ candy}$

Remaining

$12-2=10\text{ candy}$

The amount of candy left for Jack is 10 candy
