Answer:

I do not agree with Jake. Each neighbor will get
(5)/(3)or1(2)/(3)not(3)/(5)

Explanation:

Since Jake has baked 5 cherry pies total and he wants to share them equally with 3 neighbors, the operation is division:


(pies)/(neighbors)=(5)/(3)=1(2)/(3)

So, each neighbor would receive
1(2)/(3) pies, not
(3)/(5).

Likely, what Jake did wrong is switch the numerator and denominator in his fraction.
