Answer:

Each student will receive 1/16 of the whole container.

Explanation:

In order to find this answer, you will divide 7/8 by 14. You divide 7/8 by 14 because 7/8 is the total amount and 14 is the number of students that you need to divide it by. Once you right 7/8 divided by 14 you will flip 14 to 1/14. You will then multiply 7/8 by 1/14 to get 7/112. 7/112 simplified would be 1/16. Hope this helps! :)
