Answer 2

800 pencils.

Explanation:

We have been given that 5 students each brought in 8 boxes with 10 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in this group would be
`5* 8* 10=400` pencils.

Further, we are told that 10 students each brought in 8 boxes with 5 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in the 2nd group would be
`10* 8* 5=400` pencils.

`\text{Total number of pencils}=400+400`

`\text{Total number of pencils}=800`

Therefore, the students bring in 800 total pencils.
