Dario purchased a 1-foot long piece of gum, and he decides to share it with 3 of his friends. So, he cuts the piece of gum into 4 equal pieces. However, another one of his friends also showed up, and there are now 5 people in total.Now that the gum will be shared equally among 5 people, will each person get more or less gum? Briefly state why you think so.
