The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B. The following information applies to both parts.

Dario purchased a 1-foot long piece of gum, and he decides to share it with 3 of his friends. So, he cuts the piece of gum into 4 equal pieces. However, another one of his friends also showed up, and there are now 5 people in total.

Part A
Now that the gum will be shared equally among 5 people, will each person get more or less gum? Briefly state why you think so.


Part B
Dario decides to take each one of the 4 pieces and share it equally among the 5 of them. First, he divides one piece into 5 equal parts and shares it, then the next one, and so on.

What fraction of the 1-foot long piece of gum did each person get after all the parts were shared out? Briefly explain your reasoning.

If 4 pieces of gum are each divided into 5 parts, that will mean there will be 20 smaller parts (5*4=20).
Each person will get one part of each piece of gum. If there are 4 pieces of gum originally, this means each person gets 4 small pieces of gum
If each person gets 4 small pieces of gum and there are 20 small pieces altogether, that makes the fraction 4/20
Since 4 and 20 are both divisible by 4, that makes the simplified answer 1/5.

For part A the answer is To share the 1/4 piece of gum equally with 5 people, we need to divide it into 5 equal parts.

1/4 ÷ 5 = 0.05

Therefore, each person will get 0.05 feet of gum.

Idk part B tho
