Answers:

1.) Each person gets half a bar. (1/2) (4 is half of 8. As such, breaking each bar in half and distributing it that way would make it so that everyone gets the same amount.)

Answer: 1/2

2.) Each person gets 2 packages.

Answer: 2/1 or 2

3.) Each rabbit gets 10/17 ths of a carrot.

10/17 cannot be simplified any further than it already is, as 17 is a prime number. This means that every rabbit simply gets 10/17ths of a carrot.
