Answer:

Each child get 1/15

Explanation:

we know that

To find out what fraction of the jug does each child get, divide the fraction of the jug by the number of children

Let

x -----> the fraction of the jug

y ----> number of children

we have


x=(1)/(3)


y=5

so


(1/3)/5=(1)/(15)

therefore

Each child get 1/15
