Given:
Each of these halves is to be cut into fourths.
So:.
A pizza is to be cut into halves
since half is represented by 1/2.
So each piece is now
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\text{ of the original.}[/tex]
If each of these halves is to be cut into fourths, then the fraction of final pieces is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{1}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]
