Jolie Christensen · Answer 1

36 erasers each.

Explanation:

Each of the 27 students received 988 / 27

= 36.59.

36 * 27 = 972 erasers do there will be 16 erasers left over.

Chanel Waller · Answer 2

Divide total erasers by total students:

988 / 27 = 36.59

To split them evenly she will give each student 36

36 * 27 = 972

988 - 972 = 16

She will have 16 extra.
