Question

Connie paid $1.08 for pencils. How many pencils did she buy?

(Pencils Are $0.12.)

Answer 1

$1.08/$0.12=9 pencils

Answer 2

9 pencils

Explanation:

$1.08 = x * $0.12, x=number of pencils

($1.08 = x * $0.12)*100 ==> multiply by 100 to remove decimals

108 = x * 12

108/12 = x

x=9 pencils
