1. Three friends went to the movies. They shared 4/5 of a candy bar. If they share the bar equally, how much of the candy bar will each person get?

We divide the total amount of candy bar (4/5) by the number of people (3):

$$
\frac{4}{5} \div 3 = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{15}
$$

✔ Answer: A) 4/15

First simplify 4/6 → 2/3

Now divide by 9:

$$
\frac{2}{3} \div 9 = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{2}{27}
$$

✔ Answer: C) 2/27
