Answer:

  20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of people served. If each ate 1/5 of a pizza and there are 4 pizzas, we have ...

  (1/5)·n = 4

The solution can be found by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5.

  5(1/5)n = 5(4)

  n = 20

20 people could be served.
