Each person gets [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of whole pizza
Solution:
Given that Mia has [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a pizza
She divides it equally among 4 people
To find: Fraction of a whole pizza each person gets
From statement,
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of pizza is divided equally among 4 people
Therefore, to find the fraction of whole pizza each person gets, we can divide the [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by 4 people
[tex]\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Thus each person gets [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of whole pizza
