I believe the answer is the fourth option.
The answer is 24 as it's the smallest number given that is divisible by both 6 and 8.
45 + 32 + 37 = 114
114÷3 = 38
4 total quizzes,
for a 40 average on 4 quizzes she needs 40*4 = 160 total points
for 3 quizzes she has 45 +32 +37 = 114 points
160-114 = 46, she needs at least a 46 on the 4th quiz
let l = lance, and a = alex.
so: l + a = 70
and l = 4a
Putting the value for l in the first equation:
4a +a = 70
5a = 70
a = 14.
So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.
And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.
