2/5
To find out how much each person will get, we need to divide the amount of popcorn by the number of people. In this case, there are 3 brothers.
Since Maurice has 4/5 of the bag left, we can divide 4/5 by 3 to find out how much each person will get.
4/5 divided by 3 is equal to (4/5) / 3 = (4/5) * (1/3) = 4/15.
Therefore, each person will get 4/15 of the bag.
So the answer is 4/15.

I apologize for the confusion. Let me explain it in a different way.
Maurice has 4/5 of a bag of popcorn left. To share it equally among 3 brothers, we need to divide 4/5 by 3.
To do this, we multiply 4/5 by the reciprocal of 3, which is 1/3.
So, (4/5) * (1/3) = 4/15.
Therefore, each person will get 4/15 of the bag of popcorn.
So, the answer is 4/15.
