Answer:

No.

Explanation:

20/3 = 5 balls per team and five are left over. No he cannot, this is because Mr. Hill would need to have twenty one balls and he only has 20. So there is not enough. It’s because there are going to be leftovers.

Answer: No

Explanation:

No, Mr.Hill can not divide 20 balls into 3 equal groups because 20/3 does not get you a whole number, and you can not have 0.66666667 of a ball.
