Another way to look at it: You have 3 cookies. You divide those three cookies among three people. Each person gets the same number of cookies. How many cookies does each person get?

OpenStudy (90890908967777878888):

1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, so that's effectively dividing 3 cookies over 3 friends 3/3 = 1 we can re-write that as (1/3)*3 like @surjithayer wrote above
