Then the three other people have 2.25 granola bars to share amongst themselves.

Explanation:

Complete Question

Tom, Kristen, Kaley, and Bill bought 3 granola bars to share among themselves. They divided each granola bar into 4 equal portions. Kristen ate 1 portion from each granola bar.

How many granola bars did Kristen eat.

Solution

4 of them bought 3 granola bars.

Then they divide each granola bar into 4 equal portions.

Each of the 3 granola bars gets divided into 4 equal portions, where each granola bar now has (4 × 1/4) portions.

Each portion is (1/4) of a granola bar.

Kristen then takes 1 portion from the 3 granola bars.

This means she had 3 × (1/4) granola bars.

Kristen had (3/4) of a granola bar in total.

Then the other three people had [3 - (3/4)] of a granola bar to share amongst themselves. It means they had (9/4) or 2.25 granola bars to share amongst themselves.

Hope this Helps!!!
