There are 114 pencils in the art room
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, The constant proportionality between the number of markers and the number of pencils in our room is eight over three.
![\text { number of markers }=\frac{8}{3} \times \text { number of pencils }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%20%7B%20number%20of%20markers%20%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Ctext%20%7B%20number%20of%20pencils%20%7D)
There are 304 markers in the art room.
We have to find how many pencils are in the art room.
Now, from the above formula.
![\begin{array}{l}{304 \text { markers }=\frac{8}{3} \times \text { number of pencils in art room }} \\\\ {\text { Number of pencils in art room }=304 \times \frac{3}{8}=38 \times 3=114}\end{array}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bl%7D%7B304%20%5Ctext%20%7B%20markers%20%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B8%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ctimes%20%5Ctext%20%7B%20number%20of%20pencils%20in%20art%20room%20%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%7B%5Ctext%20%7B%20Number%20of%20pencils%20in%20art%20room%20%7D%3D304%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B8%7D%3D38%20%5Ctimes%203%3D114%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D)
Hence, there are 114 pencils in the art room
