Question

a a box has 75 pencils the teacher distributor 1 by 3 of the pencil how many pencils are left in the box ​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a box contains 75 pencils of which 1/3 were distributed by the teacher. Then, 50 pencils are left in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pencils the box has = 75

Fraction of pencils teacher distributed = 1/3

Number of pencils teacher distributed = 1/3 * 75 = 75 / 3 = 25 pencils

Number pencils left in the box = 75-25 = 50

So, 50 pencils are left in the box.

Answer 2

Answer:

50 pencils left

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in the question it is given as

Box has pencils =75

Teacher distributed 1 by 3 of pencil

We need to find the remaining pencil

Number of pencils the box has = 75

As it is given that 1 by 3 pencil distributed

Hence = 1/3

(Fraction of pencil distributed )

Number of pencils teacher distributed =

$\frac{1}{3} \times 75\\=\frac{75}{3}$

Now convert to its lowest term we get the answer

$=25$

( As  both 3 and 75 are divisible by 3)

Hence these are the pencils actually distributed

So pencil left = Distributed - Total pencil

By putting the value we get the number of pencil left in the box

$=75 -25\\=50 pencils$

Hence it is concluded that total 50 pencil left after distributing 1 by 3 pencils
