8 students are painting 2 boards for a project the students want to divide the work equally. How much the board should each student paint?

4 students can paint one board

Ok well if you have 8 students and 2 boards divide the students by 2.

8/2=4

now, if each student wanted to paint part of a board and there are four students then divide 1 by 4

1/4=.25 or 1/4

so 4 students can paint one board while the other 4 students pain the other board
