1. **State the problem:** A kickball game lasted 11 innings, and 3 pitchers on one team pitched the same amount of innings. We need to find how long each pitcher pitched.
2. **Set up the equation:** Let $x$ be the number of innings each pitcher pitched. Since there are 3 pitchers, the total innings pitched is $3x$.
3. **Write the equation:**
$$3x = 11$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
Divide both sides by 3:
$$\cancel{3}x = \frac{11}{\cancel{3}}$$
$$x = \frac{11}{3}$$
5. **Interpret the result:** Each pitcher pitched $\frac{11}{3}$ innings, which is approximately 3.67 innings.
**Final answer:** Each pitcher pitched $\frac{11}{3}$ innings.
