Toby had 1/5 of a container of strawberries. For a snack , 2 people shared the strawberries equally. What part of the container did each person get?

1. Toby starts with \frac{1}{5} of the container.

2. He shares this amount equally between 2 people.

3. Each person gets \frac{1}{5} \div 2.

4. Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal: \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{10} .

So, each person gets: \frac{1}{10} .
