A group of 
8
8 children received 
5
5 chocolate bars when they went trick or treating. They break the chocolate bars to split them evenly.

What fraction of a chocolate bar does each child get?



To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of chocolate bars by the number of children to find out how much each child gets.

- Total number of chocolate bars = 5
- Total number of children = 8

Each child gets a fraction of a chocolate bar, which is:

\[
\frac{5}{8}
\]

So, each child gets \(\frac{5}{8}\) of a chocolate bar.
