However, another one of his friends also showed up, and there are now 5 people in total.Now that the sub will be shared equally among 5 people, will each person get more or less sub? Briefly state why you think so.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} Before\text{ his friend showed up} \\ There\text{ are 4 people and one sub} \\ Hence,\text{ each people will get }(1)/(4)\text{ of the sub} \\ \\ After\text{ his friend showed up} \\ There\text{ are 5 people one sub} \\ Hence,\text{ each will get }(1)/(5)\text{ of the sub} \\ \\ (1)/(5)<(1)/(4),\text{ therefore each people will get less sub} \end{gathered}`
