Three sisters share 5 sandwiches equally. How many sandwiches does each sister get?

Give each sister one sandwich then you can cut the extra 2 sandwiches into 3 pieces so they each get a even amount of 2/3 or two thirds.
Hope this helps

I drew it pictorially but think of it as 5 sandwiches divided by 3 sisters. Therefore it’s 5/3
