27 students are learning to make balloon animals. There are 172 balloons to be shared equally among the students
A. How many balloons are left over after sharing them equally.

B. if each student needs 7 balloons, how many more balloon are needed? Explain



Answer :

A.) .4 of a balloon is left
To Check:
what I did was divide 172 by 27 and it is 6.37 rounded to ........6 is an equal number so I kept it and .4 will be left over after sharing equally.

B.) 17 more balloons are needs
To Check:
what I was multiply 27 by 7 because each student needs seven balloons and I got 189 after that I subtracted 172 from 189 (189-172=17)
to see how many more balloons are needed.

10 balloons are left over after sharing them equally and 17 more balloons are needed

  • Numbers of students learning to make balloon animal = 27
  • Total balloon to be shared equally among the students = 172

Further Explanation

First step:

To determine how many balloons each student gets = the total balloons to be shared equally among the students divided by the number of students learning to make balloon animal.

Therefore, we have:

= [tex]\frac{172}{27}[/tex]

= 6.37  

= 6 balloons (each student get 6 balloons)  

Second step:

To get how many balloons will be used by the entire student, then we should multiply the number of balloon each student gets (6) and the numbers of students learning to make balloon animal (27)

Therefore, we have:

= 6 x 27  

= 162 (162 balloon will be used by the student)

To calculate the remaining balloons, then we have to subtract the total balloons to be shared equally by the students and the numbers of balloon to be used by the entire students

Therefore, we have:

= 172 – 162

= 10 balloons.

Thus, 10 balloons are left over after sharing them equally.

Part B:  

If each student needs 7 balloons, then 17 more balloons are needed.

Since we have 10 balloons left after sharing them equally, to determine how many more balloons are needed = total number of students learning to make balloon animal – the numbers of balloon left over after sharing them equally.

Therefore, we have:

= 27 – 10

= 17  balloons

Therefore, if each student needs 7 balloons, 17 more balloons are needed.

Another step:

Another way you could determine how many balloons are needed is to multiply the numbers of balloon each student needs and the total number of student learning to make balloons animals, and subtract the value you derived from the total balloon to be shared equally among the students.

Therefore, we have:

= 7 x 27

= 189 balloons

= 189 - 172

= 17 balloons.
