Answer 1

To find out how many total bags of candy you and your three friends ate, you can set up the calculation as follows:

Each person ate \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a bag of candy and there are 4 people.

So, the total amount of candy eaten is:

\[
4 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
\]

Now, \( \frac{4}{3} \) can also be expressed as \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) (which is 1 bag and 1/3 of another bag).

Therefore, the total amount of bags of candy eaten altogether is \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) bags.

The correct response is:

**1 1/3 bags**.
