Answer: each of the students took 1/4 of an eraser home.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the last period our teacher had 1/2 of an eraser left. She gave it equally to 2 students. This means that the amount of eraser that each student takes home would be

(1/2) / 2 = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of an eraser. Converting to decimal, it becomes 0.25 of an eraser.
