Answer:

Jailyn and her 3 friends will each receive 1/8 of the original pizza.

Explanation:

Given that Jailyn has ½ of a pizza left over and she is sharing that with 3 friends, it means that the left over will be divided in 4 pieces and you have to divide 1/2 by 4 to find the fraction of the original pizza that Jailyn and her 3 friends will each receive:

According to this, the answer is that Jailyn and her 3 friends will each receive 1/8 of the original pizza.
