Question

Four people equally shared 1/2 of a meat loaf. What fraction of the whole meat loaf did each person eat

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Given that:

Fraction shared = 1/2

Number of people = 4

Fraction shared / Number of people

1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

Fraction of the whole meat each got = 1/8
