At the end of the day, a bakery had 1/2 of a pie left over. The 4 employees each took home the same amount of leftover pie. How much pie did each employee take home?

We have 1/2 of the pie eaten, if 1/2 was left over.
So 1/2 of a pie divided by 4 employees = 1/8 of a pie per person.

To check our work, we have 4 * 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2 of pie eaten.
