Question

the baseball coach has 108 baseballs to share equally among 8 players. how many baseballs will be left over

Answer 1

4 balls

Explanation:

108/8=13.5 or 13 R 4

Answer 2

For this case we must divide the number of baseballs among the number of players. Let "x" be the variable that represents the amount of baseballs that each player has to play. So:

`x = \frac {108} {8}\\x = 13.5`

Rounding down,
`x = 13.`

Each player gets 13 baseballs. Then there are:

`108-13 * 8 = 108-104 = 4` baseballs

Answer:

4 baseballs
