Question

27 students are learning to make balloon animals. There are 172 balloons to be shared equally among the students.

A. How many balloons are left over after sharing them equally.

Answer 1

After dividing 172 balloons by 27 students, each student receives 6 balloons and there are 10 balloons left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many balloons are left over after sharing them equally among the 27 students, we need to perform a division operation. When 172 balloons are divided by 27 students, it indicates how many balloons each student will receive. However, it is unlikely that 172 is divisible by 27 without a remainder. Here are the steps to find out:

1. Divide the total number of balloons by the number of students: 172 ÷ 27.
2. Calculate the quotient, which represents the number of balloons each student will receive.
3. Find the remainder, which is the number of balloons left over after equal distribution.

After performing the calculation, the quotient (the number of balloons each student gets) is 6 and the remainder (the number of balloons left over) is 10.

Therefore, after sharing the balloons equally, there will be 10 balloons left over.
