The best way to work this out is to find the total number, minus the remained. In this case, subtract four from 196, and this gives you 192. As you've got to put the pencils into 8 boxes, you have to divide 192 by 8, and this gives you 24.
Therefore, Soni can put 24 pencils can be put into each box, with four pencils remaining.
Hope this helps :)
Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)
The area of the original deck is

The dimensions of the new deck are :
length = 4W+6
width=W+2
so the area of the new deck is :

"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:




the length is

ft
Answer: width: 4, length: 16
