(1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12
Imagine you have one-third of a pizza, and four kids want to share it equally.
Here's our pizza as a bar — the shaded part is one-third.
We can write this as one-third divided by four.
Let's split that one-third into four equal pieces — one for each kid.
Splitting the third into four makes twelve tiny pieces across the whole bar.
Each kid's piece is one out of twelve — that's one-twelfth.
Here's a handy shortcut: dividing by four is the same as multiplying by one-fourth.
So one-third divided by four becomes one-third times one-fourth.
Multiply the numerators on top: one times one is one.
Multiply the denominators on the bottom: three times four is twelve.
Our answer is one-twelfth.
One-third divided by four is one-twelfth — each kid gets one-twelfth of the pizza.
