Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.

12/8=1 and 1/2

So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...

We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...

Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!

I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.

I hope I helped! :)
