Answer:

1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step:  1/4 divided by 8, which is 1/4 divided by 8/1

Then for the 2nd step, you have to find the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction, so you just reverse it

2nd step:  1/4 X 1/8

3rd step.  1X1/4X8 = 1/32

You can also think of it like this.  He started with 4 pieces.  Each piece was then divided into 8 parts.  So 8X4=32 is the total number of pieces.  He's only eating 1 of those, so he's only eating 1/32
