5/ .5 , if two people splitting it get .25 each and 4 people splitting it get 1/8 (.125) 5 people would be about 1/16 which is 0.0625 in decimal terms

If there was a whole gallon of punch each friend would receive 1/5 of a gallon. But since there is only half, each friend will get half of what they would if it were a whole gallon. So the answer would be 1/10, or 0.10. Hope that helps! :)
