1/8 of the sub or 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

One foot=12 inches, but the teacher eats half, so we are left with only six inches. then, divide the six inches with the number of students, which is 4. if you divide 12 and 1.5, you'll see that there are a total of 8 pieces, so one student gets 1 out of the 8
