Equal Column Distribution: Finding the Number of Balls per Column in a Grid

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Count the total number of balls from the visual.
• Step 2: Determine the number of columns that the balls need to be distributed among.
• Step 3: Divide the total number of balls by the number of columns to find how many each column will contain.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: From the visual, we count that there are 24 balls in total.

Step 2: The number of columns in the grid is 4.

Step 3: Using the formula $\text{Number of balls per column} = \frac{\text{Total number of balls}}{\text{Number of columns}}$, we calculate:

$\text{Number of balls per column} = \frac{24}{4} = 6$

Therefore, each column will contain 6 balls.
