Answer:

Each of her friends ate 7/32 of the cake.

Explanation:

Given that Fon baked a cake and ate 1/8 of it, and then she shared the remaining cake equally to her 4 friends, to determine what fraction of the whole cake did each of her friends received, the following calculation must be performed:

(8 - 1/8) / 4 = X

(7/8) / 4 = X

(28/32) / 4 = X

7/32 = X

Thus, each of her friends ate 7/32 of the cake.
