Answer:

They each had 1/20 of the original meal

Explanation:

To begin, there are 4 people. Her siblings, and herself. She is splitting the 1/5 leftover to feed them. To do this, we simply take 1/5 and put it into a fraction to get 0.2. Next, we can put 0.2 / 4 into a calculator to get how much each person can get.

0.2 / 4 = 0.05.

Now, we need to turn it into a fraction to find out how much they had in fraction form of the original.

0.05 = 1/20

They each had 1/20 of the original meal
