Final answer:

Each person should think they walk away with 1.25 goods.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, there are 8 people who need to split the goods up. To determine each person's fair share, we divide the total goods by the number of people. So, if there are 10 goods in total, each person should think they walk away with 10/8 = 1.25 goods.
