Answer:

5.5 but to have half a balloon is impossible so we should say 4 just for the case of it

Explanation:

We know that there are 8 people and 44 balloons, they want to be shared equally, "equally" is a term for division, so we divide.

44 / 8

==> 5.5

Of course there is no such thing as a half balloon, so if we were to ask how many everyone would get, it would be 4 at most.
