Question

Sarah divides 1/2 of a candy bar evenly among 4 friends. How much will each friend get?

Answer 1

Answer: Each friend will get
`(1)/(8)` of the candy bar.

Explanation:

We will divide the amount of candy bar by the number of friends. Since we are dividing with a fraction, we will use "keep, change, flip" where we keep the first, change to multiplication, and flip the second to the reciprocal.

`(1)/(2)` ÷ 4 =
`(1)/(2)` *
`(1)/(4)` =
`(1)/(8)` of a candy bar
