In order to find the number of children should be in each group, we can write a division between the number of students and the number of groups,


(#Children)/(#groups)=#children\text{ }per\text{ }group

then,


(20)/(5)=4

Answer:

There should be 4 children per group in order to have 5 equal groups.
