Question

There are 24 pencils in a box. 1/8 of them are sharp. How many pencils are not sharp?





​

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

sharp pencils=1*24/8=3

so number of pencils which is not sharp=24-3

=21

Answer 2

✏ Number of pencils = 24

✏ Number of sharp pencils

= 1/8th of total

$= 24 \times \frac{1}{8} \\ = 3$

✏ Therefore number of pencils that are not sharp

= $24 - 3 \\ = 21$
