Hello!

❖ 60 balloons.

Find how many balloons are left:

313 - 13 = 300

Divide to see how many will be in each room:

300 ÷ 5 = 60 balloons

Answer:

60

Explanation:

If he had 313 balloons, and 13 of them popped, he would be left with 313-13=300 balloons. To determine how many balloons were in each room, you would divide 300 by 5 because he is dividing them evenly into 5 rooms. 300 divided by 5 is 60, so there were 60 balloons in each room.
