5 each because a "baker's" dozen is 13

A BAKERS DOZEN = 13
they did this because of the weights and measures act so a baker always added a extra one to a normal dozen of 12 to make sure they could not be prosecuted for being under weight
so a bakers dozen became 13
YOUR QUESTION ANSWER =
makes 13 rolls
keeps 3 for himself so that's 13-3 = 10
then he equally divides the 10 rolls between the 2 children giving each child 5 rolls each

He can give them each 5. 5 + 5 + 3 =13 (which is a baker's dozen).

4 1/2 rolls for the children if it a dozen rolls (=12 rolls), and 3 rolls for himself
Or 5 rolls for each child and 3 rolls for himself if its a bakers dozen (=13 rolls)

He can give them each 5 as bakers always make a bakers dozen which is 13.
