Question

Miss Anderson has a hundred and twenty eight pencils left over at the end of the school year she decides to keep half of them for the next school year in divided the rest of the pencils evenly among her 16th student how many pencils each student receive

Answer 1

First we need to halve 228 because she is saving half for next school year

228 ÷ 2 = 114

Now, we divide 114 by the amount of students she will be equally sharing the pencils with (16)

114 ÷ 16 = 7.125

We can just round this to 7

Therefore, each student will receive 7 pencils

Hope this helps
