Answer:

you could solve this problem one of two ways-

1)

100/4 25/2 12.5

100, equals the entire pizza. 4, is the number of people. 25, is the amount they all get. They you divide by 2 since it is only a half pizza.

-or-

2)

100/2 50 50/4 12.5

100, equals the entire pizza. Divide that by 2 since it half a pizza. 100/2 equals 50. Then, since there is 4 friends you divide 50 by 4. Which equals 12.5.

In conclusion, the final answer is 12.5% of the pizza each.

Hope this helps!!
