1/4
The correct answer is 1/12.
To find out how big of a slice each person gets, we need to divide the total number of slices by the number of people.
Given that Ginger evenly shares 3/4 of a pizza with 8 people:
First, let's convert 3/4 to an improper fraction:
3/4 = 3/4 * 4/4 = 12/16
Now, we can divide the 12 slices among 8 people:
12/16 ÷ 8 = (12 ÷ 8) / (16 ÷ 8) = 3/2 = 1 1/2
Therefore, each person gets a slice that is 1 1/2 or 1 and 1/2 in size.
So, the correct answer is 1/2.
