Keegan Hurst · Answer 1

Between 6 and 9 bowlers

Step-by-step explanation:

40 people are bowlers

3 out of every 16 bowlers own a bowling ball

So, 6 (3*2) out of 32 (16*2) bowlers will own a bowling ball

9 (3*3) out of 48 (16*3) bowlers will own a bowling ball.

Since number of bowlers = 40, the number of bowlers with a bowling ball will be between 6 (32 bowlers) and 9 (48 bowlers)

Number of bowlers to have a balling ball = 6-9
