Answer 1

367×100=36,700
You multiply the 367 number of boxes by 100 because they contain 100 pencils. You then divide by 10 and get 3,670. Each class will get 3,670 pencils.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 36700 pencils that each class will receive.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes of pencils = 367

Number of pencil in each box = 100

so, total number of pencils in 367 boxes is given by

`367* 100\\\\=367,000`

If the pencils are to be shared evenly amongst 10 classrooms,

So, the number of pencils will each class receive would be

[tex\dfrac{367000}{10}\\\\=36700[/tex]

Hence, there are 36700 pencils that each class will receive.
