Answer: Each friend will receive 4/35 gallons of popcorn.

Explanation:

To split 4/5 gallons of popcorn evenly between 7 friends, you can divide the total amount of popcorn (4/5) by the number of friends (7).

So, each friend will receive:

(4/5) gallons ÷ 7 friends = (4/5) ÷ 7 = (4/5) * (1/7) = (4/35) gallons

Each friend will receive 4/35 gallons of popcorn.
