To find out how much each friend ate, you divide the amount of cake eaten by the number of friends.
So, if 9 friends ate 3/4 of the cake, you divide 3/4 by 9.
3/4 ÷ 9 = (3/4) * (1/9) = 3/36 = 1/12.
Therefore, each friend ate 1/12 of the cake.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:
To find out how much each friend ate, you need to divide the amount of cake eaten (3/4) by the number of friends (9).
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
3/4 ÷ 9 = (3/4) * (1/9) = 3/4 * 1/9 = 3/36 = 1/12.
Therefore, each friend ate 1/12 of the cake.
