Answer 1

Answer:

15 students can be given 2 pencils each.

6 students can be given 5 pencils each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each box of pencils consists of 10 pencils.

Then 3 boxes of pencils consists 30 pencils.

• If each student is given 2 pencils then the number of student is:

               $Number\ of \ students=\frac{Total \ number\ of\ pencils}{Number\ of\ pencils\each \ is\ given} \\=\frac{30}{2}\\ =15$

Thus, 15 students can be given 2 pencils each.

• If each student is given 5 pencils then the number of student is:

               $Number\ of \ students=\frac{Total \ number\ of\ pencils}{Number\ of\ pencils\each \ is\ given} \\=\frac{30}{5}\\ =6$

Thus, 6 students can be given 5 pencils each.
