Answer 1

C. 8\14 can of soda

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of soda = 8 cans

Number of people = 14 people

To find the number of soda each person gets;

`Each \; person = \frac {number \; of \; soda}{number \; of \; people}`

`Each \; person = \frac {8}{14}`

Therefore, the fraction of a can of soda each person would receive is 8\14 can of soda.
