Answer: 5/9 of an apple

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are more people than apples, you know that the aples are going to be cut and every person will get less than one apple. You just divide the 5 apples to the 9 people. The simple way is putting the numbers and making it a fraction. In this case, 5/9. 5 apples as the numerator and 9 people as the demoninator.
