What fraction of the cake did each friend get?

We’ve got 2/3 of a cake and we’ve got three friends who each get an equal piece. So what fraction of the cake did each friend get? Let’s work this problem this way: we can say that there are three friends and each got an equal piece, and so each friend got 1/3 of the cake that was eaten.

What is 1/3 of the cake that was eaten?
