Answer:

4 buckets

Explanation:

number of buckets needed = 96 / 30

= 3.2

Since 3.2 is not a whole number (buckets cannot be split into small portions), and each bucket can only hold 30 golf balls, 4 buckets are needed to hold all golf balls.

Or else, if there is only 3 buckets, only 30x3 = 90 balls can be held, meaning there are 6 left.
