Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

We have to first find how much of the whole cake (1) that they all ate.

Boris eats 1/5 of the cake.

Maziy eats 1/5 of the cake.

Sanjay and Silas eat 1/5 of the cake.

Jack also has 1/5 of the cake.

The total fraction of cake eaten was:

1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 4/5

Therefore,the fraction of the cake left is:

1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Yes, there is cake left.
