Answer:

Each person will be getting [tex]2\frac{2}{5}[/tex] pieces  of licorice

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 12 pieces of licorice

To divide it equally among 5 people following formula will be used

Pieces to be given to each person = [tex]\frac{total\, pieces}{total\,people}[/tex]

                                                           = [tex]=\frac{12}{5} \\2.4\\[/tex]

So

Each person will be getting [tex]2\frac{2}{5}[/tex] pieces  of licorice
