Paris has decided to give 1/8 of her perfume to her 3 closest friends.

What fraction of the perfume will she give to each of her 3 friends if she gives each of them the same amount of perfume?

Each friend will have 1/24 of her total perfume.

I’m not sure if this is right, because the wording is weird, but if she is giving 1/8 of her perfume to all three friends, and then those friends have to divide that 1/8 among themselves, that is one eighth divided by 3, and that is equal to 1/24
