okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.   
The answer is : 1.33333333 because 4 divided by 3 is 1.33333333 and 1.33333333x1 is 1.33333333 so the answer is 1.33333333
