problem

Mrs. Jones is pouring orange juice into four identical glasses for her four sons. She fills the first three glasses completely but runs out of juice when the fourth glass is only 13\frac{1}{3} full. What fraction of a glass must Mrs. Jones pour from each of the first three glasses into the fourth glass so that all four glasses will have the same amount of juice? The final answer can be written in the form mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+nm+n?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Mrs. Jones is pouring orange juice into four identical glasses for her four sons. She fills the first three glasses completely but runs out of juice when the fourth glass is only (1)/(3) full. What fraction of a glass must Mrs. Jones pour from each of the first three glasses into the fourth glass so that all four glasses will have the same amount of juice? The final answer can be written in the form (m)/(n), where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. What is m+n?
