Final answer:
Each of the four friends will receive 1/8 of the pizza when they share 1/2 of a pizza equally.
Step-by-step explanation:
If four friends are sharing 1/2 of a pizza, we need to divide that half into four equal parts.
This is a straightforward fraction division problem.
To find out how much each friend receives, divide 1/2 by 4 or multiply 1/2 by the reciprocal of 4, which is 1/4.
The calculation is as follows:
- Amount per friend = (1/2) × (1/4)
- Amount per friend = 1/8
So, each friend will receive 1/8 of the pizza.
