Question

Mrs. Anderson has 128 pencils left over at the end of the school year. She decides to keep half of them for the next year and divide the rest of the pencils evenly among her 16 students. How many pencils will each student receive? A. 9 B. 8 C. 18 D. 4

Answer 1

First we need to figure out what half of 128 is

128 ÷ 2 = 64

Now, we need to divide 64 by the amount of students she has (16)

64 ÷ 16 = 4

Therefore, each student will get 4 pencils meaning the answer is D

Hope this helps
