First of all you have really good information for this question:
Mr Carson=3 pencils per student.
26 students=Mr Carson
Boxes=12 pencils.
<span>So, what you need to do, is to multiply 26 students by 3 pencils and then divide the total by 12, which is 6.5. BUT, You can't buy half a box. So, you round  6.5 to the nearest tenth, which is 7. Mr Carson can buy 7 boxes
Hope this helps

Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.

Hope this helps!

Once upon a time, there was a former whose family raised pigs and chickens. One morning, the farmer's wife looked into the barny
Fed [463]

Using a system of equations, it is found that:

  • There are 8 chickens in the yard.
  • There are 16 pigs in the yard.

-----------------------------------------

This question is solved using a system of equations. I am going to say that:

  • x is the number of chickens.
  • y is the number of pigs.

-----------------------------------------

  • A chicken has 1 head, as do a pig.
  • There are 24 heads.

Thus:

x + y = 24 \rightarrow y = 24 - x

-----------------------------------------

  • A chicken has 2 feet.
  • A pig has 4 feet.
  • In total, there are 80 feet.

Thus:

2x + 4y = 80

-----------------------------------------

Number of chicken:

Since y = 24 - x

2x + 4y = 80

2x + 4(24 - x) = 80

2x + 96 - 4x = 80

2x = 16

x = \frac{16}{2}

x = 8

There are 8 chickens in the yard.

-----------------------------------------

Number of pigs:

y = 24 - x = 24 - 8 = 16

There are 16 pigs in the yard.
