Answer 1

The five people sharing two quarters of a pizza will each receive 1/10 of the whole pizza, making the correct answer A) 1/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kylee is having a birthday party where five people are sharing two quarters of a pizza. To find out what equal-sized portion of the whole pizza each person will receive, we divide the total amount of pizza, which is two quarters or 1/2 of a whole pizza, by the number of people sharing it, which is five.

The calculation will be as follows:
(1/2) ÷ 5 = 1/10.

So, each person gets 1/10 of the whole pizza. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 1/10.
