wow thanks

You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

To find out what fraction of each carton of juice each friend got, we need to divide the total amount of juice by the number of friends.

Let's start with the orange juice. The total amount of orange juice is 1/2 of a carton. Divide this by the number of friends, which is 4:

1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8

So, each friend received 1/8 carton of orange juice.

Next, let's move on to the apple juice. The total amount of apple juice is 1/4 of a carton. Divide this by the number of friends, which is 4:

1/4 ÷ 4 = 1/16

Therefore, each friend received 1/16 carton of apple juice.

Putting it all together, each friend got 1/8 carton of orange juice and 1/16 carton of apple juice.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D: Each friend got 1/8 carton of orange juice and 1/16 carton of apple juice.

There are a total of 4 friends who shared the juice, which means each friend gets one-fourth (1/4) of the juice. For the orange juice, they shared 1/2 of a carton, so each friend gets 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 of a carton of orange juice. For the apple juice, they shared 1/4 of a carton, so each friend gets 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 of a carton of apple juice. Therefore, the answer is D. Each friend got 1/8 carton of orange juice and 1/16 carton of apple juice.
