Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\boxed{(1)/(8)}`

Explanation:

You are starting with ½ pie. Then you cut it into four pieces.

You want to evaluate ½ ÷ 4

Step 1. Treat the integer as a fraction

`(1)/(2)/{(4)/(1)}`

Step 2. Invert the divisor and change divide to multiply

`(1)/(2)*{(1)/(4)}`

Step 3. Multiply numerators and denominators

`(1)/(2)*{(1)/(4)} = \mathbf{(1)/(8)}\\\\\text{Each piece is } \boxed{\mathbf{(1)/(8)}} \text{ of a whole pie.}`
