Jeff has 2/3 gallon of sherbet he gives each of his friends one 1/12 gallon scoop there is 1/6 gallon left in the carton hiw many friends got sherbet

6 friends got sherbert

6 friends got sherbert.

First you have to make the denominators the same

Ex: 2/3 = 8/12

1/6 = 2/12

Then, after you have the same denominators you subtract

Ex: 8/12 - 2/12 = 6

That means 6 friends got sherbert

(sorry I'm not very good at explaining)
