Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{3}{35}$
Number of slices of Pizza = 7
Number of Jose's friends = 5
3 slices of Pizza was divided between Jose's 5 friends.
$\frac{3}{7} \div 5 = \frac{3}{7} \div \frac{5}{1} = \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{35}$
$∴$ Each of the 5 friends would get $\frac{3}{35}$ th portion of that Pizza.
