Answer 1

1/2 package = 1/2 of 24 = 12 pencils

1 package = 24 pencils

3 packages = 24*3 = 72 pencils

4 packages = 24*4 = 96 pencils

6 1/2 packages = 24*6.5 = 156

Explanation:

1 package = 24 pencils

1/2 package = 1/2 of 24 = 12 pencils

1 package = 24 pencils

3 packages = 24*3 = 72 pencils

4 packages = 24*4 = 96 pencils

6 1/2 packages = 24*6.5 = 156

Answer 2

12, 24,72,96,156

Explanation:

1/2 package would be 1/2 of 24 which is 12

21 x 24 = 24

3 x 24 = 72

4 x 24 = 72

We know that 3 packages is 72 so 6 packages is double that at 144. We also know that have a package is 12. so 144 + 12 = 156
