Answer:

The story that matches the equation is:

Taylor has 5 bags of candy to divide equally with her friends. She wants to give each friend one fifth of a bag of candy. How many of Taylor's friends will get candy?

Explanation:

If she is giving 1/5 of each bag to someone, she is dividing 5 bags into 5 portions. There will be 25 portions to shared with her friends.

Luke's scenario will result in 125 portions. And 1/5 of a granola bar is hardly a bite!
