Answer:

Each student get less than 1 cup of broth.

Explanation:

We have been given that a teacher divides the 5 cups of broth among 6 students. We are asked to determine the amount that each student will get would be more than or less than 1 cup of broth.

Since there are 5 cups of broth, so we can distribute them to 5 students each having one cup of broth.

As the teacher divides the 5 cups of broth among 6 students, therefore each student will get less than one cup that is
(5)/(6) of cup.
