Hello there,
1/2÷4 --> Can be changed to its reciprocal(reciprocal of 4/1 is 1/4) 1/2*1/4= 1/8

Each person will get 1/8 of a pan of brownies.

Hope this helps!!

She only has 1/2 the pan.


Herself plus 3 friends are 4 people.


1/2= 4/8


So, they will each get 1/8 of the pan of brownies.

I hope this helps!
