Equal Column Distribution: Arranging Red Balls in a Grid Problem

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Divide so that each column has an equal number of balls

00:04 We'll transfer one by one according to the diagram

00:32 Now we'll solve mathematically, using average

00:36 We'll sum up all the balls, and divide by the number of columns

00:58 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve this problem step-by-step:

Step 1: Count the balls.
In the provided diagram, we need to count each ball shown to obtain the total number.
Step 2: Determine the number of columns.
The table's columns are evenly spaced, and there appears to be 4 columns depicted.
Step 3: Calculate the number of balls per column.
Divide the total number of balls by the number of columns.

Step 1: Count the balls.

There are 20 balls depicted in the diagram.

Step 2: Determine the number of columns.

There are 4 columns in the table based on the grid lines visible in the diagram.

Step 3: Perform the division.

The formula to find the number of balls per column is: $\frac{\text{total number of balls}}{\text{number of columns}} = \frac{20}{4} = 5$ .

Thus, there will be 5 balls in each column.
