6 children need to share 5 breakfast bars Divide bars into correct numbers of equal parts then tell the fraction each kid will get

- - Carefully cut each bar into 6 equal pieces.

There are (5 x 6) = 30 pieces all together.

Each piece is 1/6 of a bar.

- - Each child gets 5 of the pieces.

That's the same as 5/6 of a whole bar.

(6 children) x (5 pieces) = 30 pieces. It works out. yay!
