the answer is 5.
Since each friend had 2/5 left, if you multiply that fraction by 5, you get 2.

Answer:

5 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of friends,

Since, each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left over,

Thus, the total numbers of bag left = 2/5 of the number of friends,

[tex]=\frac{2}{5}x[/tex]

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{2}{5}x=2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x = 5[/tex]

Hence, there were 5 friends.
