Answer: Each friend will get 3 gumballs.

Explanation:

Given: Pete has 4 packs of gumballs. Each pack has 5 gumballs.

Total gumballs he has = 4 x 5 = 20

Now , if he needs to divide them into 6 friends , then each friend will get (20 ÷ 6) gumballs

$20/ 6=(20)/(6)=(18+2)/(6)=(3*6+2)/(6)=3\frac26$

So each friend will get 3 gumballs.
