$\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gisselle has 1/2 of a candy bar.

She role off 1/2 of what she had and split it into three equal pieces.

Question asked:

What fraction of a candy bar was each piece?

Solution:

Gisselle has = $\frac{1}{2} \ of \ a \ candy \ bar$

She role off = $\frac{1}{2} \ of \ what\ she \ had$

$=\frac{1}{2} \ of\ \frac{1}{2}\\=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}$

As she split it into three equal pieces, we will divided it by 3, we get,

$\frac{1}{4} \div3\\\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore, fraction of a candy bar of each piece is $\frac{1}{12}$
