: There were 5 Classmates. All of whom received 1/10 of a whole Pizza, the remaining half never being purchased by Jake.

Answer 2

Answer:

If Jake gave 1/5 of half a Pizza to friends, with nothing left over then, as there were 5 equal portions, there must have been exactly 5 friends.

So, 5 Classmates all receive 1/5 of a 1/2 Pizza, which means they all receive 1/10 of a whole Pizza.

Answer. There were 5 Classmates. All of whom received 1/10 of a whole Pizza, the remaining half never being purchased by Jake.
