Question

Answer 1

Answer:

6, but 4 pencils will remain

Step-by-step explanation:

76/12=6 1/3

To find the remainder, multiply the decimal or fraction by the divisor. 1/3*12= 4. Four pencils remain with six in each box.

Answer 2

Answer:

6.333333

Step-by-step explanation:

He can put 72 pencils into the 12 boxes, 6 pencils in each box, and he will have 4 pencils left over. So then he can put 1 pencil in each box so all 76 of the pencils will be in a box. But 4 of the boxes will have 7 pencils and the other 8 will have 6.
