To find the number of coconuts \( c \) that the kids gather, you can use the equation that represents the total number of coconuts divided evenly among the kids. Since there are 16 kids and each kid gets 5 coconuts, the equation is:
\[
c = 16 \times 5
\]
Now, solve this equation for \( c \):
\[
c = 80
\]
So, the number of coconuts the kids gather is \( \boxed{80} \).
\[
c = 16 \times 5
\]
Now, solve this equation for \( c \):
\[
c = 80
\]
So, the number of coconuts the kids gather is \( \boxed{80} \).
