Answer:

Jenny has 4 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jenny has pencils = x

Arthur has pencils = 5x+6 (Arthur has 6 more than 5 times the number of pencils as Jenny. )

Total pencils = 30

We need to find how many pencils does Jenny have.

We basically can write the equation:

Total pencils = Jenny pencils + Arthur pencils

Putting values and solving to find value of x:

30=x+5x+6\\30=6x+6\\30-6=6x\\24=6x\\=> 6x=24\\x=\frac{24}{6}\\x=4

So, we have value of x = 4

Now, finding number of Jenny pencils:

Jenny has pencils = x = 4

Therefore, Jenny has 4 pencils.

Answer:

Words for dividing:

  • shared
  • each
  • for every
  • per

The problem is asking you to divide, because the key word is, "fill empty egg cartons that each hold"

So Mary will fill  each carton with 12 eggs each until she runs out.

216 / 12

<em>12 goes into 216 eighteen times exactly.</em>

<em />12 * 18 = 216

<em>and the result is(R means leftovers, which are none here)...</em>

<em />18~R~0
