I have 1/2 of cake left I need to divide it equally among 8 people what fraction of the whole cake would each person get please show your work and write your answer in the simplest form

First, let's break down the question.

So, you have half of a cake remaining, and you need to split it equally among 8 people.

To set it up, we would write 1/2 divided by 8/1

It would then turn into 1/2 times 1/8 due to the rule you have to use when dividing fractions, which is keep, flip, change, or KFC for short

1/2 times 1/8 would turn into 1/16, because we are multiplying the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator, and 8 times 2 is 16

So, finally, the ending answer would be that every person gets 1/16 of the whole cake
