Answer 1

Let's break this down. If Elizabeth has $3.75 worth of pencils, and each one was $0.25, that means we have to divide those two numbers. 3.75 divided by 0.25 is 15, so that's how many pencils were in the handful. I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

A 15 you have to divide 3.75 and 0.25 to get 15 :)
