Answer 1

Answer:

18 pencils in 3 packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each pack will have the same amount of pencils. It is given that there are 36 pencils in all when one has 6 packs. Find the amount in each pack by dividing (total amount of pencils)/(amount of packs) = Amount of pencils per pack:

36/6 = 6

There are 6 pencils in each pack.

Now, Elsa wants to know how much pencils are in 3 packs. Multiply the amount of packs with the amount of pencils in each pack:

Total amount of pencils = amount of packs (3) x amount of pencils per pack (6)

                                       = 3 x 6

                                       = 18

There are 18 pencils in 3 packs.
