At the end of the party there is 5/6 cup of dip leftover. Jim divides 6/7 of the left over dip equally between 3 friends. How much dip does each friend get? 

We can solve this step-by-step.

### Step 1: Calculate the amount of dip Jim divides
Jim divides \( \frac{6}{7} \) of the leftover dip, which is \( \frac{5}{6} \) of a cup. So, we need to calculate \( \frac{6}{7} \) of \( \frac{5}{6} \):

\[
\frac{6}{7} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{6 \times 5}{7 \times 6} = \frac{30}{42} = \frac{5}{7}
\]

This means Jim is dividing \( \frac{5}{7} \) of a cup of dip between the friends.

### Step 2: Divide the dip equally between 3 friends
Now, Jim divides \( \frac{5}{7} \) of a cup among 3 friends, so we need to divide \( \frac{5}{7} \) by 3:

\[
\frac{5}{7} \div 3 = \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{21}
\]

Each friend gets \( \frac{5}{21} \) of a cup of dip.

Thus, each friend receives \( \frac{5}{21} \) of a cup of dip.
