<span>This property is called associativity. It shows that it doesn't matter whether you perform the sum on the first two numbers and then the third, or on the second two and then the first, because you will get the same answer either way. That is because addition is associative.</span>
So you would divide 7 by 3, which you can't...so 6 divided by 3 is 2, and when you split the last one into thirds you can each have 1/3. Add the sections together, and each person gets 2 1/3
