8 people get 1 segment each while the other 4 get none.
The segments can be divided into 12 parts so that each person gets an equal share of the gummy worm, 2/3rds of a segment.

you could divide it into
12
parts or into
66 (2/3)
to make it even for everybody or make everybody one segment except for
4
people but makes it unfair and not really sharing so you would have to put one in a fraction other in a decimal i guess.
