To calculate how many sheets of graph paper each of the 26 students in Mr. Ramirez's math class will get if they all get the same number, we need to divide the total number of sheets by the number of students:

Number of sheets per student = Total number of sheets / Number of students

Number of sheets per student = 250 / 26

Number of sheets per student ≈ 9.615

So each student will get approximately 9 sheets of graph paper.

To calculate how many sheets will be left over, we can use the modulo operator (%), which returns the remainder of a division:

Sheets left over = Total number of sheets % Number of students

Sheets left over = 250 % 26

Sheets left over = 12

So there will be 12 sheets of graph paper left over after each of the 26 students has received approximately 9 sheets.
