mia has $\frac{1}{2}$ of a pizza. she divides it equally among 4 people. which model shows the fraction of a…

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We need to divide $\frac{1}{2}$ by 4.

Step2: Use the division - of - fractions rule

Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, $\frac{1}{2}\div4=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}$.

Step3: Calculate the product

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1\times1}{2\times4}=\frac{1}{8}$.

Answer:

The model that shows 1 out of 8 parts shaded represents the fraction of a whole pizza each person gets. Looking at the models, the third model (a rectangle divided into 8 equal parts with 1 part shaded) is the correct one.
