Answer:

1/14

Explanation:

If 7 people equally share 1/2 a pan of macaroni and cheese, each person will get 1/2 / 7 = 1/14 of the pan.

To find the fraction of the pan that each person gets in terms of the whole pan, we can multiply the fraction 1/14 by the denominator of the fraction representing the whole pan. If the whole pan is represented by 1 pan, the fraction representing each person's share would be 1/14 * 1 = 1/14 of a pan.

So, each person would get 1/14 of a pan of macaroni and cheese.
