Answer:

(3)/(20)

Explanation:

It is given that there is 3/5 of pie left if 4 friends wanted to share the pie equally.

We need to find how much pie would each friend receive.

Total remain pie =
(3)/(5)

Total number of friends = 4

The formula for each part is

$\text{Each part}=\frac{\text{Remaining pie}}{\text{Number of friends}}$

$\text{Each part}=((3)/(5))/(4)$

$\text{Each part}=(3)/(5* 4)$

$\text{Each part}=(3)/(20)$

Therefore, each friend would receive
(3)/(20) of pie.
