In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data
total stars = 9
equal groups = 3
stars per group = ?
1/3 of 9 = ?
Step 02:
stars per group = total stars / equal groups
stars per group = 9 / 3
stars per group = 3
1/3 of 9 = 1/3 * 9 = 9/3 = 3
The answer:
There are 3 stars per group.
1/3 of 9 is 3.
