Answer: the number of slices that each person will get is 4 4/9

Explanation:

Antonio ordered 5 large pizzas, which have a total of 40 slices.

He invited 8 people to his party. If he plans to divide the pizza up equally among him and his friends, it means that the pizza would be divided among 9 people(Antonio and 8 friends = 9 people).

The number of slices that each of them will get would be

40/9 = 4 4/9 slices
