Last night Danielle had a birthday party. 1/3 of the birthday cake was leftover. She wanted to share the leftover birthday cake with 4 friends the next day. How much of the birthday cake would each get if they shared it equally?
You need to multiply 1/3 by 1/4 (it is 1/4 because it is 1 friend out of 4 friends). After you do that you should get 1/12. So each friend will get 1/12 of the cake.
