In 1 pack there is 6 pencils cause you need to divide 36 by 6. In 3 packs there are 18 pencils because 6 pencils times 3 packs is 18 pencils!

Hope this helped!

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 36 pencils in 6 packs and we are to find out how many pencils are there in one pack and three packs.

To find the number of pencils in one pack, we need to divide the number of pencils by the number of packs.

Number of pencils on 1 pack = 36/6 = 6 pencils

To find the number of pencils in 3 packs, we will multiply the number of pencils in one pack by 3.

Number of pencils in 3 packs = 6 * 3 = 18 pencils
