They each get 1/4.

Because since they have 1/2 they will further divide that piece in 2 so each of them will get 1/4 of the whole.

Hope this helps :)

You want to calculate one half of one half, or:


\sf(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:


\sf(1* 1)/(2* 2)


\sf(1)/(4)

So each friend gets 1/4 of a whole pineapple.
