Answer:

I do not agree with Jake.  Each neighbor will get [tex]\frac{5}{3}or1\frac{2}{3}not\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jake has baked 5 cherry pies total and he wants to share them equally with 3 neighbors, the operation is division:

[tex]\frac{pies}{neighbors}=\frac{5}{3}=1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So, each neighbor would receive [tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] pies, not [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex].

Likely, what Jake did wrong is switch the numerator and denominator in his fraction.
