Hate to be a nitpicker. If you sold 1/2 of the original and then 1/3 OF THE ORIGINAL , you would have 1/3 left. If you sold 1/2 of the original and then 1/3 of THAT, you would have 1/6 of the original left. But I'm sure everybody knows what you meant.

Correct. But if one sells 1/2 of the original and then 1/3 of the remaining, then 1/3 is left.

1 whole =6/6
1/2 of 6/6 = 3/6 (remaining)

1/3 of 3/6 = 1/6
3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6
2/6 = 1/3 left after both sales.
