If you are sharing something evenly among 5 people, each person will get 1/5 of the whole thing.
Here the "whole thing" you are sharing is 2/3 of a pizza, so each person gets
1/5 * 2/3
= (1*2)/(5*3) = 2/15

2/3 of a pizza is equally divided among 5 people.
What's 2/3 divided by 5?
(2/3) / (5/1)
= (2/3) * (1/5)
= 2/15.
So, each person gets 2/15 of the whole pizza.
Check: 2/15 of a pizza * 5 = 2/3 of a pizza.
I hope that helps. :)

2/15. Multiply 5/1x2/3=10/15. Divide 10/15 5 ways and you get 2/5+2/5+2/5+2/5+2/5=10/15. 10/15=2/3
