Each person = 5/7 kg

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of people that can share the 10kg of chocolate:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 / (5)/(7)


= 10 * (7)/(5)


= 14

---------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 14 can share the chocolate.
