a chocolate bar has 18 squares. paul ate 1/6 of the bar. how many squares left

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many squares Paul ate and then subtract that from the total number of squares.

1. **Calculate the number of squares Paul ate:**

   Paul ate \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the chocolate bar. Since the bar has 18 squares, we calculate the number of squares Paul ate by multiplying \(\frac{1}{6}\) by 18:

   \[
   \text{Number of squares Paul ate} = \frac{1}{6} \times 18 = 3
   \]

2. **Determine how many squares are left:**

   Now, subtract the number of squares Paul ate from the total number of squares:

   \[
   \text{Squares left} = 18 - 3 = 15
   \]

So, there are **15 squares left** in the chocolate bar after Paul ate \(\frac{1}{6}\) of it.
