You have $5$ cells in the top row of a table, and need them to instead appear as $3$ equal cells. What process would you use to accomplish this?

Select an answer:

Merge the first $2$ cells, and merge the last $2$ cells, to make $3.$

It is not possible to turn $5$ cells into $3$ equal cells.

Merge the first $2$ cells, then merge the next $2$ cells, to make $3.$

Merge the $5$ cells into one, then split this new single cell into $3.$
