To determine how much each of the nine friends gets when sharing 3 pumpkin pies equally, you can set up the problem as follows:

1. **Total Pumpkin Pies:** 3
2. **Number of Friends:** 9

Each friend receives an equal share of the total pumpkin pies. This can be calculated by dividing the total number of pies by the number of friends:

$$
\text{Fraction of a pumpkin pie each friend gets} = \frac{3 \text{ pies}}{9 \text{ friends}} = \frac{1}{3}
$$

So, each friend will get:

$$
\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}
$$
Each friend gets $$ \frac{1}{3} $$ of a pumpkin pie.
