Question

5 students each brought in 8 boxes with 10 pencils per box and 10 students each brought in 8 boxes with 5 pencils per box how many total pencils did the students bring in ???

Answer 1

Answer:

800 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 5 students each brought in 8 boxes with 10 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in this group would be $5\times 8\times 10=400$ pencils.

Further, we are told that 10 students each brought in 8 boxes with 5 pencils per box.

The number of pencils in the 2nd group would be $10\times 8\times 5=400$ pencils.

$\text{Total number of pencils}=400+400$

$\text{Total number of pencils}=800$

Therefore, the students bring in 800 total pencils.

Answer 2

Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

Five students brought 8 boxes with 10 pencils each box

8×10×5 = 400

10 students brought 8 boxes with 5 pencils each.

10×8×5=400

Total pencils = 400 + 400 = 800 pencils
