Answer:

To find out how many paddle balls will be in each hopper, you can divide the total number of paddle balls by the number of hoppers.

paddle balls ÷ hoppers = paddle balls per hopper

2798 ÷ 40 = 69.95

So there will be approximately 69.95 paddle balls in each hopper. Since it's not possible to put 0.95 of a paddleball in a hopper, you can round it to the nearest whole number. This means each hopper will have 70 paddleballs.
