The phrase "The number of soda bottles split 5 ways" can be represented as \( \frac{b}{5} \), where \( b \) is the number of soda bottles.

The expression \(\frac{b}{5}\) is already in a simple form. However, if you would like to communicate the idea that it represents the number of soda bottles divided into 5 equal parts, you can simply say "one-fifth of b".
In symbols, that could also be written as:
\[
\frac{1}{5}b
\]
This is mathematically equivalent but may convey the concept slightly differently. If you're looking for a different kind of simplification or have a specific format in mind, please let me know!
