Solution Steps

Step 1: Count the Total Number of People

Arie went to the ice cream shop with three friends, so the total number of people is: \[ \text{Total People} = 1 + 3 = 4 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Total Amount of Ice Cream

Each person received \( \frac{1}{2} \) cup of ice cream. Therefore, the total amount of ice cream received by all four people is: \[ \text{Total Ice Cream} = \text{Total People} \times \text{Ice Cream per Person} = 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2.0 \]

Final Answer

The total amount of ice cream received by Arie and her friends is \\(\boxed{2.0}\\).
