what can you do to continue dividing?
break the 2 apart into 20 tenths
how many tenths of a loaf does each person get?
____ tenths

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the division

We have 20 tenths (from breaking the 2 into 20 tenths) and we are dividing by 5 people.

Step2: Perform the division

To find how many tenths each person gets, we calculate $\frac{20}{5}$.
Since $5\times4 = 20$, $\frac{20}{5}=4$.

Answer:

4
