5 Cups of water to be used by six students. How many cups does each student get? Display as a fraction.

If the problem stated that there were 6 cups of water,
each student would receive 1 cup of water each. However, 6 students are attempting to
evenly divide 5 cups of water so we now the students will receive slightly less than one
full cup of water. The first thing to do is to divide 5 cups by 6. 5 divided by 6 equals
.8333. Therefore, each student will receive .8333 cups or 5/6 of a cup of water.  You
can check this by multiplying 5/6 by 6 or adding 5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6+5/6. In either
case, the answer is 5.
