The total number of pencils is 2,160. When estimating to the nearest hundredth one gets 2,200, which is an underestimate. 

The advantage of underestimating is that your answer is more accurate than an overestimate.

How many atoms of group one would react with one atom of group five?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Group 1 elements are comprised of: (1) hydrogen, sodium, lithium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium. The tendency of these atoms is to lose one of their electrons such that they become charge +1. 

Group 5 elements contains the vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and dubnium. It is quite hard to predict the oxidation number of these elements such that it will be hard to determine the number of atoms needed to react with them. Their valence electron is 5, and they react by losing them. Hence, in order to reach the octet rule, 3 group 1 elements should be reacted.
