Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an illustration of the shared parts first.

So, at first, Dario divided the party size into 4 parts first.

Then, here comes another friend. Dario divided each piece into 5 parts.

Based on the illustration above, each friend receives 4 pieces out of 20 cut pieces.

Answer:

The fraction of the party size sub that each person got after all the parts were shared is 4/20 or 1/5.
