Tim, kara and ann are working together to write a 4page report each student are going to do an equal amount of writing. what fraction of entire report does each student need to write

Theres three people. So each person needs to do one third (1/3) of the report. 

The report is 4 pages long. So now calculate how much 1/3 of 4 is 

= 1/3 * 4 
= 4/3 
= 1 1/3 pages 

So each person needs to do one and a third pages. 

And if you think about it it makes sense. three people EACH doing one page (1 +1 +1 = 3 pages) and a third of a page (1/3 + 1/3 +1/3 = 1 page) = 4 pages (3 pages + 1 page)

It says in the questions that it is 6.5?
