Each person will get less sub because dividing it into 5 pieces makes each portion smaller than when it was divided into 4 pieces.
Solución
Each person will get less sub. Originally, when the sub was cut into 4 pieces, each person would have received 1/4 of the sub. Now, dividing the same sub among 5 people means each person gets 1/5 of it. Since 1/5 is smaller than 1/4, everyone receives a smaller portion.

Each person will get less sub because the 1-foot long sub needs to be divided into more pieces. Originally, Dario cut the sub into 4 equal pieces, so each friend would get 1/4 of a foot. But now, with 5 people sharing the same sub, each person will only receive 1/5 of a foot, which is smaller than 1/4. If you convert it to inches, 1/4 of a foot is 3 inches, while 1/5 of a foot is 2.4 inches. That's a noticeable difference in how much sub each person gets! The more people sharing the same amount of food, the less everyone receives.
