A hiker carried 1 gallon of water on a hike. She drank 1/2 of the water when she stopped to rest and gave an equal amount of the remaining water to each of 4 friends. What fraction of the 1 gallon of water did each friend receive?

The answer to your question is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total volume = 1 gallon

Water drank by the hiker = 1/2

Water drank by each of his friends = ?

            1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8

3.- Conclusion

Each of the friends received 1/8 of the gallon.
