To find the fraction of cups of water that each of them drank, we need to divide the total number of cups of water by the number of people.
In the picture, there are 6 cups of water in total. Since Blake and two friends equally shared the cups of water, there are 3 people in total.
Therefore, each person drank 6 cups of water divided by 3 people, which equals 2 cups of water per person.
The fraction of cups of water that each of them drank is 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/6
