If there are 3 fish
and 4 persons
that means, 3 fish / 4 persons, or each person will receive 3/4 of a fish
Think of it this way, since there are four people you already know each fish must be divided into four parts so each person gets one part, or 1/4 of that fish.
Since there are three fish to do this to that is the same as 3*1/4=3/4 of a fish per person.

surely this should have been placed in the maths section. however as others have said. it is quite a simple solution to a simple problem.
if you have three people: two mothers and two daughters (Grand mother, Mother and daughter/granddaughter) each would get a fish.
if you have four people then you split each fish into four and give each a quarter of it.
so simple even a dunce like me can solve that one.
if the fishes are different species and sizes then split each fish by three or four depending on the number of people.

We have two pairs here.
Grandma - Mother and Mother - Daughter, where mother happens to be one person. So there are 3 people and 3 fish. Now whats the fuss about.

The daughters would each have one fish and the last fish the two mothers would share...it's called sacrifice for your children.

Split the 3 into have and you will have 6 halves of fish. 1st mother- 1 half 2nd mother-1 half
1st daughter-i half 2nd daughter-1 half
Split the 3rd fish into 4 pieces. Then you have your fish sharing.

No problem. Grandma, Daughter, Granddaughter = two mothers and two daughters. They each would have a fish to eat.

quite easily
every one gets a fish.
grandmother-mother-daughter - just 3 persons, but two mothers and two daughters.

chop em up and make into a fish pie and divide equally, unless the mothers and daughters are fish and can't cook, let them fight it out themselves, and remember that there is no such thing as a free meal.
