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

Video Solution

Solution Steps

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

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

00:29 Now let's solve mathematically, using average

00:37 We'll sum up all the balls, and divide by the number of columns

00:56 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

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.
