When you divide a unit fraction by a whole number greater that 1, the quotient is always smaller than the unit fraction being divided. Why is this true? Use an example to support your answer.

The servings that each of your friend received which is 1/8 is the quotient. And the servings that each of your friends got is smaller compared to the half of the round chocolate cake. Therefore, when dividing a unit fraction by a whole number, the quotient is always a unit fraction which is less than the dividend.
