Question

A) 60
B)80
C)100
D)120

Answer 1

To estimate how many rubber balls Dylan should give to each game, you can divide the total number of rubber balls by the number of games:

\[ \frac{1256 \text{ rubber balls}}{13 \text{ games}} \approx 97.38 \]

Rounding this number to a more manageable estimate, 97 rounds to about 100.

So, the closest option is:

C) 100
