Answer:

Each person will receive 5/6 of a cake

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the fraction received by each person

From the question, there are six cakes shared among six people

The fraction of the person involved will get will be the number of cakes divided by the number of people

Mathematically, that will be 5/6
