Question

96 pencils come in bx if 4 teachers share 3 boxes how many each teacher receive show your work

Answer 1

In order to solve this problem, you basically have to the equation: (96×3)÷4 So first do 96×3 which is 288 288÷4=72

Answer 2

So there are four teachers and they want 3 boxes. If you are trying to find out how many pencils they get. You multiply it by 96. Since there are 96 pencils and a box and 96 come in a box.
96x3=288
If they want to share it they each get 72. Since there are 4 teachers and 288 pencils you divide 288 by 4.
288/4=72.
