Answer 1

1 devided for 3 people is 1/3 per person

Answer 2

Let each person get portion "x".

So, 3 person would get "3x" and that would be equal to "1" sandwich.

Thus, we can write the equation:

`3x=1`

Let's solve for "x",

`\begin{gathered} 3x=1 \\ x=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Each person will get one-third of a sandwich.
