Looking at the image, we can see that the rectangle is divided into 12 equal parts. The first part in each of the four rows is shaded, and the one shaded part in the first row is further shaded with diagonal lines. This means that out of the 12 equal parts, only 1 part is shaded with diagonal lines.
Therefore, the fraction used to divide 1/3 is 1/12.
