Question

Hannah brought 12 packs of pencils with each pack containing eight pencils. Ethan bought four packs of pens with each pack holding 24 pens. Who brought the most amount?

1) Hannah
2) Ethan

Answer 1

Both Hannah and Ethan each brought a total of 96 items, Hannah with pencils and Ethan with pens, so they brought an equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to compare the total amount of items Hannah and Ethan each bought. To find the total amount Hannah brought, we multiply the number of pencil packs she bought (12) by the number of pencils in each pack (8). To find the total amount Ethan brought, we multiply the number of pen packs he bought (4) by the number of pens in each pack (24).

Let's start with Hannah's total: 12 packs × 8 pencils per pack = 96 pencils.

Now, for Ethan's total: 4 packs × 24 pens per pack = 96 pens.

Therefore, both Hannah and Ethan brought an equal amount of items, which is 96.
