Answer:
John's remaining pencils in term of p = p/4
Hence, option 'c' is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'p' be the total number of pencils
Given that John gives 2/3 of his pencils = 2/3 of p
= 2/3 × p
= 2/3 p
Pencils left:
Factor out common term p
Pencils John gave to Maria = 1/4 × p/3 = p/12
The remaining Pencils in terms of 'p' =
Thus, John's remaining pencils in term of p = p/4
Hence, option 'c' is true.
