To find out how much of the bag each person will get, we need to find the total amount of popcorn in the bag first.
Since Maurice has 4/5 of the bag left, we know that he has 4/5 * bag = <<4/5=0.8>>0.8 * bag amount of popcorn.
Since Maurice is sharing with his 2 brothers, there are a total of 3 people (Maurice + 2 brothers).
To find out how much each person will get, we need to divide the total amount of popcorn by the number of people:
Total popcorn amount / Number of people = 0.8 * bag / 3 = (0.8 / 3) * bag amount.
Therefore, each person will get 0.8/3 of the bag of popcorn.
