Each individual receives $\frac{1}{8}$ of the entire pizza

Solution:

It is given that Mia possesses $\frac{1}{2}$ of pizza

She shares it fairly with 4 individuals

To determine: What fraction of a whole pizza does each person receive?

In the given situation,

$\frac{1}{2}$ of the pizza is evenly distributed among 4 individuals.

Thus, to calculate the portion of a whole pizza that each person obtains, we can divide the $\frac{1}{2}$ by the 4 individuals.

$\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{fraction each person gets } = \frac{1}{8}$

Consequentially, each individual receives $\frac{1}{8}$ of the whole pizza.
