Question

Thomas has 3 boxes, each with 8 balls.

He wants to place the balls evenly into 4 boxes.

How many balls will be in each of the 4 boxes?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 balls will be in each of the 4 boxes.

Explanation:

Multiply 3x8 to find out how many balls there are total.

3x8=24

Then to split them evenly, you divide by 4 (the amount of boxes they are split into)

24/4= 6
