Answer:

1 1/3 items

Explanation:

Total number of items = 4 items

Total number of people = 3 people

4 items = 3 people

To know the number of items each person will get, we can write;

x items = 1 person

Divide both expressions

4/x = 3/1

3x = 4

x = 4/3

Express as mixed fraction;

4/3 = 1 1/3

Hence each person will receive 1 1/3 items
