Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

If there are two pies and eight friends, then 4 friends split each pie. I know this because if you divide eight by two (because there are 8 friends and 2 pies) then you get 4, which means then 4 friends split each pie. You would then figure out how many slices you need to split each pie into. Since there are 4 people per pie, you would split each pie into 4 sections. Each friend would get 1/4 of a pie.

I hope this makes sense to you. If you need any more help, please let me know. I'm always happy to help! :]
