James had a large bag of raisins and he ate 3/4 of it. He decided to share the remaining raisins with 2 friends so that each of the 3 of them get a fair share. What portion of the whole bag of raisins did each friend get?

Answer 1

If James ate 3/4 of the bag of raisins, then 1/4 of the bag remains. Since James and his 2 friends are sharing the remaining raisins equally, each person gets 1/4 ÷ 3 = 1/12 of the whole bag of raisins.

Therefore, each friend gets 1/12 of the whole bag of raisins.
