Answer:

A

Explanation:

First off we can see that there are 46 pencils - and 7 students - so we can divide the two

46/7 is not a whole number, so we need to find a number that can be multiplied by 7, and is right below 46.

If you multiply 7 by 6, you get 42, which is the highest you can get with multiply by 7, which is also below 46.

Now that we know that each student gets 6 pencils, we need to find out how many are left.

We can do 46 (total pencils) minus 42 (pencils given) to get a leftover of 4 pencils, so the answer is A.
