Well, one way is to divide each potato equally into thirds and give each child one-third of each potato, five pieces in all--five thirds. Less chopping is involved if you give each child one whole potato and then do the careful dividing just of the remaining two. Each child gets one whole potato and two one-third potatoes. 5/3 = 1 2/3.

A mother has six children and only five potatoes how can she feed each with equal portion?
Mash them or turn them into french fries and divide by weight; cut one into 3 equal parts and give 3 and 1/3 to each. Perhaps 'equally' can be interpreted to mean 'equally satisfied'. One of the three people may loathe potatoes, leaving 5 each for the remaining two people. Maybe one person has a need for 4 potatoes, and the others are more than happy with 3 each.
