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.
