You want to calculate one half of one half, or:

$\sf\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{1\times 1}{2\times 2}$

$\sf\dfrac{1}{4}$

So each friend gets 1/4 of a whole pineapple.

They each get 1/4.

Because since they have 1/2 they will further divide that piece in 2 so each of them will get 1/4 of the whole.

Hope this helps :)

$\frac{1}{8} (x + 24) = \frac{5}{8} x + 9 - \frac{1}{2} x \\ \\ \frac{x + 24}{8} = \frac{5}{8} x + 9 - \frac{1}{2} x \ / \ simplify \\ \\ \frac{x + 24}{8} = \frac{5x}{8} + 9 - \frac{1}{2} x \ / \ simplify \\ \\ \frac{x+ 24}{8} = \frac{5x}{8} + 9 - \frac{x}{2} \ / \ simplify \\ \\ \frac{x + 24}{8} = \frac{x}{8} + 9 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x + 24 = x + 72 \ / \ multiply \ each \ side \ by \ 8 \\ \\ 24 = 72 \ / \ cancel \ x \\ \\ no \ solution \\ \\$

The final result is: no solution.
