Question

For every 8 red pens on the teachers desk there are 12 pencils. If she has 60 writing implements, does she have enough red pens for 60 kids? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:No she does not

Step-by-step explanation:

8pens + 12pecils= 20writing inplements

20+8+12=40

20+8+12=60

You needed 3 sets of 8 pens and 3 sets of 12 pencils to get 60.

3*8=24

24 is less than 60, so she does not have enough pens for 60 students
