Each Person will get 7/30 of the chicken.

Explanation:

Given:

Pound of chicken Jamie = 7/10

Number of people among which the chicken has to be divided=3

To Find:

How much chicken will each person get=?

Solution:

`\text { Amount of much chicken will each person get }=\frac{\text { total amount of chicken }}{\text { total number of people }}`

Substituting values, we get

`\text { Amount of much chicken will each person get }=(7 / 10)/(3)`

`\text { Amount of much chicken will each person get }=(7)/(10) * (1)/(3)`

`\text { Amount of much chicken will each person get }=(7)/(30)`
