96 pencils come in bx if 4 teachers share 3 boxes how many each teacher receive show your work

In order to solve this problem, you basically have to the equation: (96*3) : 4 So first do 96*3 which is 288 288:4=72

So there are four teachers and they want 3 boxes. If you are trying to find out how many pencils they get. You multiply it by 96. Since there are 96 pencils and a box and 96 come in a box.

96x3=288

If they want to share it they each get 72. Since there are 4 teachers and 288 pencils you divide 288 by 4.

288/4=72.
