To find out how many rubber balls Dylan should give to each game, you can divide the total number of rubber balls by the number of games.
\[ \text{Number of rubber balls per game} = \frac{1256 \text{ rubber balls}}{13 \text{ games}} \approx 96.77 \]
Since Dylan cannot give a fraction of a rubber ball, he can give approximately 96 or 97 rubber balls per game. If he gives 96 to each of the 13 games, he would use:
\[ 96 \times 13 = 1248 \text{ rubber balls} \]
If he gives 97 to each of the 13 games, he would use:
\[ 97 \times 13 = 1261 \text{ rubber balls} \]
Since he does not have enough rubber balls to give 97 to each game, he should give 96 rubber balls to each game. After distributing, he will have:
\[ 1256 - 1248 = 8 \text{ rubber balls left over.} \]
Thus, Dylan should give about 96 rubber balls to each game.
