Jade share 4 1/3 cups of chocolate by 1/3 among his friends

The mixed fraction = 4 1/3

Fraction = 1/3


\begin{gathered} \text{Firstly, we n}eed\text{ to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction} \\ 4(1)/(3)\text{ = }\frac{(3\text{ x 4) + 1}}{3} \\ 4(1)/(3)\text{ = }\frac{12\text{ + 1}}{3} \\ 4(1)/(3)\text{ = }(13)/(3) \\ \text{Divide }(13)/(3)\text{ by 1/3} \\ =\text{ }(13)/(3)\text{ / }(1)/(3) \\ \text{ According to mathematics, once the numerator and denominator of the LHS is interchanged then the order of operator changes from division to multiplication} \\ =\text{ }(13)/(3)\text{ x }(3)/(1) \\ =\text{ }\frac{13\text{ x 3}}{3} \\ \text{= }(39)/(3) \\ =\text{ 13} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 13
