Answer 1

1/5 is remaining

Explanation:

if there is two people each eating 2/5 we would just multiply 2/5 by 2 and get 4/5 then we would subtract 4/5 from 1 and get 1/5

Answer 2

1/5

Explanation:

Sandwich eaten by Mick and Jackie =
`(2)/(5)+(2)/(5)\\\\`

=
`(2+2)/(5)=(4)/(5)`

Remaining sandwich = 1/5
