    A will states that 5/6 of an estate is to be divided among relatives.

    Of the remaining, 1/2 goes to charity. How much goes to charity?

    Remaining will be 1/6

    1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 goes to charity

    Whole Estate: 6/6

    Estate gets 5/6

    Remaining Estate: 6/6 - 5/6 = 1/6

    American Cancer Society gets 1/2 of the 1/6

    ... Of means multiply

    ... 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

    ACS gets 1/12 of the Estate
