Jake baked 5 cherry pies. He wants to share them equally with 3 people. How much of a pie will each person get?

Each person would get 1.6 pieces of pie because if you divide 5/3 you get 1.6! This would be 1 and 2/3. You can check the work on a calculator, if you want....

Each friend will get one whole pie and 2/3 of another one.
