Question

Pete has 4 packs of gum balls. Each pack has 5 gum balls. If Pete gives the same number of gum balls to 6 friends, how many gum balls will each friend get?

A.2
B.3
C.4
D.5

Answer 1

4 x 5 = 20

20 divided by 6 = 3.33

round it to the nearest whole number, so you get 3

[B. 3]

Explanation:

<3

Answer 2

B) 3

Explanation:

The total number of gum balls that Pete has is 4 packs multiplied by 5 gum balls per pack, which equals 20 gum balls in total.

Since Pete wants to give the same number of gum balls to 6 friends, we divide the total number of gum balls (20) by the number of friends (6).

When we divide 20 by 6, we get 3.33 recurring. Since we can't give a fraction of a gum ball, we round to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, each friend will receive 3 gum balls.

So, the correct answer is B) 3

Hope this helped!
