There are 109 balls and sue wants to share them equally between 3 people. How many balls does each person get?

To find out how many balls each person will get, you can divide the total number of balls by the number of people:

\[
\text{Number of balls each person gets} = \frac{109}{3}
\]

When you divide 109 by 3, you get:

\[
109 \div 3 = 36 \text{ R } 1
\]

So, each person will get 36 balls, and there will be 1 ball left over.
