if I split 2 candy bars each way how many does each person get

If you split 2 candy bars equally among a group of people, the number of candy bars each person gets depends on how many people are sharing.

1. **Two People**: If there are 2 people, each person gets \( \frac{2}{2} = 1 \) candy bar.
2. **Three People**: If there are 3 people, each person gets \( \frac{2}{3} \) candy bars, which is about 0.67 candy bars each.
3. **Four People**: If there are 4 people, each person gets \( \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \) candy bar, or 0.5 candy bars each.
4. **Five People**: If there are 5 people, each person gets \( \frac{2}{5} \) candy bars, which is 0.4 candy bars each.
5. **Six People**: If there are 6 people, each person gets \( \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \) candy bar, or about 0.33 candy bars each.

### Tip
Always make sure to know the total number of people sharing to calculate the exact amount each person receives.
