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!

Three plus the sum of the squares of w and x is 32
Roman55 [17]
The statement is an equation which is written in text form or in words. when we write it as an equation it will be:
squares of w and x is equal to w² and x² so, their sum means they are going to add.
3 + (w² + x²) = 32
three plus the sum of w² and x² is 32.
when we describe or write quantity with an equal sign it makes an equation.
