2/5 can be taken to mean 2 units out of 5.
Since he needs to share it with 3 friends, that 2/5 of the pie has to be divided among the 4 of them.
But 2 cannot be divided by 4 to give a whole number.
So divide further, and change the numerator and denominator.
Most importantly the numerator must be divisible by 4.
2/5 × 2/2 = 4/10
Now we have 4 units.
4/10 ÷ 4 = 1/10
Each person gets 1/10 of the pie
