cereal bars.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the division problem

We have 9 cereal bars and 4 students. To find how many each student gets, we use division: \( 9 \div 4 \).

Step2: Perform the division

\( 9 \div 4 = \frac{9}{4} = 2\frac{1}{4} \). So each student gets 2 and \( \frac{1}{4} \) cereal bars.

Answer:

\( 2\frac{1}{4} \) (or \(\frac{9}{4}\))
