If Trey had 1/4 of a box of donuts to split between himself and his 2 friends, they would divide the donuts equally among themselves.
So, Trey and his 2 friends would each receive 1/3 of the 1/4 box of donuts.
To find the fraction each person receives, we divide 1/4 by 3:
1/4 ÷ 3 = 1/4 × 1/3 = 1/12.
Therefore, each person would receive 1/12 of the box of donuts.
