0.1000
To find the fraction that represents how much of the whole pan of corn bread each friend will get, we need to divide the remaining corn bread equally among the 4 friends.
Given that 2/3 of the corn bread is left after dinner, we can represent this fraction as 2/3.
To divide this fraction equally among 4 friends, we need to divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (3) and then multiply the result by the number of friends (4).
So, the fraction representing how much of the whole pan of corn bread each friend will get is:
(2/3) / 4 = (2/3) * (1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6
Therefore, each friend will get 1/6 of the whole pan of corn bread.
