Cecilia and Juan brought a total of 1 pound of shredded newspaper each, which means they brought 2 pounds of shredded newspaper in total (1 pound from Cecilia + 1 pound from Juan).
They divided this total equally among 5 people. To find out how much each person received, you divide the total amount of shredded newspaper by the number of people:
\[
\text{Amount per person} = \frac{\text{Total amount of shredded newspaper}}{\text{Number of people}} = \frac{2 \text{ pounds}}{5} = 0.4 \text{ pounds}
\]
So, each person at the table received 0.4 pounds of shredded newspaper.
