well, let's see.
There are more people than crab cakes.
How can each person get more than 1 cake?
In things like this, it's often useful to keep the units around, so you know how to do the divisions.
You want to know cakes per person
That is, cake/person, so the division is
2cake/3person = 2/3 cake/person
2/3 = 0.67
