Answer 2

AN
we are given
Maria has 14 pencils
Ted has 9 pencils
Tom has 12 pencils
Lucinda has 13 pencils
Jumana has 12 pencils
(a)
To find equal distribution,
firstly we will find total number of pencils
and then we find total number of boys
and then we divide it
that will give equal distribution
(B)
total number of pencils =14+9+12+13+12
total number of pencils =60
total number of boys =5
each person pencil = (total number of pencils)/(total number of boys)
each person pencil = 60/5
each person pencil =12
