Answer 1

`(1)/(8)` of a pound of trail mix.

Explanation:

Billy has
`(1)/(4)` of a pound of Trail Mix

If he wants to share it equally with his brother, it means we divide it into two equal parts.

The share each get will be:

`(1)/(4) / 2 = (1)/(4) X (1)/(2) =(1)/(8)`

Each brother gets
`(1)/(8)` of a pound of trail mix.
