To determine the fraction used to divide 1/3, we need to count the number of shaded parts in the image.
In the image, there are a total of 12 parts divided into four rows and three columns. The first part in each row is shaded, so there are four shaded parts in total.
Out of the four shaded parts, only one part in the first row is further shaded using diagonal lines.
Therefore, the fraction used to divide 1/3 is 1/4.
