Answer

Katherine cannot equally distribute the jacks. There will be left over.

Check Explanation for the reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation

To know whether these 80 jacks can be divided equally in 7 baggies with no left over, we will need to do a division of 80 ÷ 7

Doing this diviseion, we see that the answer will be 11 remainder 3

80 ÷ 7 = 11 remainder 3

Hence, each of the 7 baggies will contain 11 jacks and there will be 3 jacks left over.

Hope this Helps!!!
