Each person gets 1/5 of 3/4 of a pizza

------------------
For a model, you can draw a circle, and
using a protractor, divide it into 20 slices
that are degrees each.

Combine 3 of these slices and label it
#1 for the 1st person
Combine 3 more slices, label it #2 for
the 2nd person
Do this for all 5 people, and you will have
of the pizza left, which
is the 1/4 that was missing
