B. $\frac { 1 } { 1 2 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 4 volunteers removed the litter from $\frac{1}{3}$ of a mile of state highway equally.

We are to find the fraction of a mile each volunteer cleans.

For that, we simply will divide the length of highway cleaned by the total number of volunteers.

Fraction of mile cleaned by each volunteer = $\frac { \frac { 1 } { 3 } } { 4 } = \frac { 1 } { 1 2 }$

So the correct answer option is B. $\frac { 1 } { 1 2 }$ .

1/3 divided by 4 is 1/3 times 1/4 or 1/(3*4)=1/12

answe ris 1/12 or B
