Answer:

Explanation:

5 boxes * 8 bars) / number of students

Here, "number of students" represents the total number of students in the group.

For example, if there are 10 students in the group, the algebraic expression would be:

(5 * 8) / 10

By simplifying this expression, we get:

40 / 10 = 4

Therefore, each student would have 4 granola bars.

In general, the algebraic expression to represent how many granola bars each student has would be:

(5 * 8) / x

Where "x" represents the total number of students in the group.
