Answer:

1/8 of the initial butter quantity

Explanation:

When Mr. Morales divides equally half of the butter into four mixing bowls we can say they each bowl has 1/4 of the half butter but we need to consider that this quantity is only the half of the butter, therefore:


(1)/(4)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(8)

We have 1/8 of the initial butter in each of the mixing bowls!

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
