Answer:

Each person gets
(7)/(8) cup of pudding.

Explanation:

The problem is essentially asking;


3(1)/(2) ÷ 4

(4 because the pudding has to be divided amongst Regina and her 3 friends, hence 4 people)

To divide fractions, first one has to convert from improper fractions to mixed numbers;


(7)/(2) ÷ 4

Next, one has to reciprocate the second fraction, since the second number is an integer, one simply has to put the number as the denominator, and set the numerator to 1.


(7)/(2) *
(1)/(4)

Now, one has to perform the multiplication, simply multiply the numerators and denominators together (there is no way of simplifying in this problem);


(7)/(8)

Each person gets
(7)/(8) cup of pudding.
