Answer:

[tex] \dfrac{1}{8} [/tex] of the original whole pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tate has [tex] \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex] of the pizza and wants to share it equally with a friend, they will each get half of [tex] \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex] of the pizza.

To find the fraction each of them gets, we multiply [tex] \dfrac{1}{4} [/tex] by [tex] \dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]:

[tex] \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 2} = \dfrac{1}{8} [/tex]

So, each of them will get [tex] \dfrac{1}{8} [/tex] of the original whole pizza.
