They have enough balloons because I used division as my operation. 3 can go into 16 five times. I got 1 after subtracting and bring down 2. 3 can go into 12 evenly 4 times. 12 minus 12 equals 0 with no remainder. So, they get 54 balloons for each group. But I want to know how many EACH student gets enough balloons. 54 divided by 6 groups equals 9 balloons for each student. GLOSSARY: Division - Set of operation that breaks down numbers into equal parts | Remainder - left over ||
