Answer:

Each person will be getting $2\frac{2}{5}$ 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 = $\frac{total\, pieces}{total\,people}$

= $=\frac{12}{5} \\2.4\\$

So

Each person will be getting $2\frac{2}{5}$ pieces of licorice
