Jewel Salinas · Answer 2

Each friend will receive 1/14 of the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edna has a jar of marbles that is filled 1/2. Since she decides to empty the jar by handing out an equal number of marbles to 7 of her friends, then 1/2 must be divided among the 7 friends.

1/2 : 7

= 1/2 * 1/7

= 1/14

Each friend will receive 1/14 of the jar.
