Determine fraction of each teacher

Each fraction is calculated by dividing total fraction by number of teachers as follows:

[tex]Each = \frac{Fraction}{Teachers}[/tex]

[tex]Each = \frac{4}{5}/3[/tex]

[tex]Each = \frac{4}{5} * \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Each = \frac{4}{15}[/tex]

(4/5) / 3 =

4/5 * 1/3 =

4/15 <== each teacher received 4/15 of a flat
