6 friends share 5 oranges equally. What fraction of an orange does each friend get?

Because you have more friends than oranges, you can assume that each person will only get part (or a fraction of) an orange.
If you divide 5 oranges for 6 people, your equation looks like 5 / 6, so each person gets 5/6th of an orange, or about 0.833 oranges per person.

Hope this helps :)
