Answer:

C. write an equation

Step-by-step explanation:

The best method would be to write an equation to solve this problem. This would be the best option because you are given all of the values/measurements of the table and the distance between balloons. Therefore, you would simply need to create an equation that calculates the perimeter of the table and divides a variable number of balloons 2 feet apart along the perimeter. Guessing is not a valid solution, especially when you are given actual data. Tables, Charts, and Lists are mainly used for large sets of data.
