Another way to solve the problem is to think about the concept of dividing fractions. If the baker wants to use an equal amount of blueberries on 8 desserts, they need to divide the 1/4 pound of blueberries into 8 equal parts.

To do this, you can multiply the 1/4 pound of blueberries by the reciprocal of 8, which is 1/8.

(1/4) x (1/8) = 1/32

This means that the baker will use 1/32 pound of blueberries on each dessert.
