Question

Mrs. Jones decided to buy some pencils for her class. She bought 3 packages of pencils, and each package contained 44 pencils. There are 22 students in her class and she divided up the pencils so that each student had the same amount of pencils. If there were no pencils left over, how many pencils did each student get?
A. 6
B. 66
C. 2
D. 25

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiple 3 by 44 to find the number of pencils total. 3x44=132.

Then, divide 22 into 132. 132/22=6.

Therefore, each student received 6 pencils.

Answer 2

Each student would get 2 because there’s 44 pencils and 22 students so you would do 44 divided 22 which gives you two. (Hope this helps!)
