You mean, you have 1/8 of something and want share for 3 people ?

#

each person would get one third of the remaining one eighth

#

so how do you think you might mathematically represent that?

"Of" means multiplication. Thus, if you want "one third of a slice", you want "(1/3)*(one slice)". If you want "one third of 1/8", then you want "(1/3)*(1/8)". Do you know how to multiply fractions?
