Answer 1

3 ounces.

Explanation:

We have been given that Me Zachary brings 264 ounces of water to basketball practice for the players to drink. Mr Zachary divides the water equally among the 9 players. We are asked to find the amount of water that is left over.

To find the amount of water that is left over, we will take out the largest multiple of 9 from 264.

Let us divide 264 by 9.
