32 people will each receive the same amount.

Therefore each person gets

(16 cups) / (32 people) = 1/2 cups/person

Answer: Each person gets 1/2 cup.

1 gallon = 16 cups

total amont of sorbet = 1 gallon

number of people to share = 32

32 --------- 16

as they are proprtionate

32/16 = 1 / ?

do cross multiplication to get ans

so every friend got 1/2 cup of fruit sorbet.
