Final answer:
Each person would receive (1/16) pound of raisins when 2 people share (1/8) pound of raisins.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2 people share (1/8) pound of raisins, then to find out how many pounds of raisins each person gets, you need to divide the total amount of raisins by the number of people. In this case, since there are 2 people sharing the raisins, you would divide (1/8) pound by 2.
Step 1: Identify the total amount of raisins.
Total raisins = (1/8) pound.
Step 2: Divide the total amount of raisins by the number of people.
Each person gets = (1/8) pound ÷ 2 = (1/8) × (1/2) = (1/16) pound.
Thus, each person gets (1/16) pound of raisins.
