A recipe uses 1 aubergine for every 3 people. How many aubergines should you buy for 10 people?
The answer is 4
Isn't the answer 3 and 1/3 (Three and one third)?
Maybe it's more of a real-life question which is the issue, but I'm not sure. Other questions I've seen are similar to this.
Thank you
edit: It's 4. I put the wrong number in. My mistake.

The answer should be four. Three will only be enough for nine people. You cannot buy 1/3 aubergine, so the answer isn’t 3 1/3.

4 because you can't buy 1/3 of an aubergine
4 because you can't buy 1/3 of an aubergine
