Question

26 fifth graders are learning to make balloon animals. There are 580 balloons to share equally among the students. How many balloons will be left over?

Answer 1

Answer: There will be 8 balloons left over.

Explanation: A total of 580 balloons to be distributed equally among 26 students means 580 ÷ 26.

The division is not exact, since 580 are not divisible by 26, it will result in a rest, so

580 ÷ 26 = 22 and has rest 8

Therefore, there will be 8 balloons left over.
