Question

How many pens will you have if you divide equally 12 among 5?

Answer 1

ANSWER : 60 pens

EXPLANATION :

Let the number of pens be = ' x '

How many pens to be given to each person = 12

Number of person = 5

$\frac{total \: number \: of \: pens}{number \: of \: person \: } = pens \: to \: each \: person$

$\frac{x}{5} = 12$

$x = 12 \times 5$

$x = 60$

Therefore, there are 60 pens

5 = x/12

5= 60/12

5= 5
