To divide fractions, find the reciprocal of the divisor fraction (flip the positions of the numerator and denominator) then change the division sign to a multiplication sign. In our case, we'll do:

(2)/(3) * (1)/(4)
Just multiply the numerators and denominators as seen to get the product of 2/12, which simplifies to 1/6.

2/3 divided by 4= 0.167 gallons per person (4/25 of a gallon per person).
