How can I split five brownies among three people?

Asked by kerriethomas82

Each person will get a full brownie leaving you left over with 2 full brownies. You can cut both of the remaining brownies into 3rds giving you 6 pieces. Each person can then get 2 prices. This is 1 and 2/3 brownies per person

Each of the three people will receive 1 and 2/3 brownies when splitting five brownies. First, each gets one full brownie, and the remaining two brownies are cut into thirds to share. This results in each person having a total of five thirds or 1 and 2/3 brownies.
