Respuesta :

Answer:

1/15 Kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each per get x kilogram

since there are 5 people

total potatoes got by 5 people = 5*x 5x kilograms

we know that total the man has was 1/3 kilogram , thus

5x must be equal to 1/3 kilogram

5x = 1/3

dividing both sides by 5

5x/5 = 1/(3*5)

x = 1/15

Thus, each person gets 1/15 Kilograms.
