3/4
1/6 of the pot is 2/12
1/12 + 2/12 is 3/12
1 - 3/12 is 9/12 = 3/4

portion served to both mother and brother
[tex] = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} \\ \frac{1 + 2}{12} \\ = \frac{3}{12} [/tex]
remaining portion
[tex] 1 - \frac{3}{12} [/tex]
=
[tex] \frac{12}{12} - \frac{3}{12} [/tex]
=
[tex] \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
