198 pencils is received by each class
Solution:
Given that, Mr. Matthew purchases 22 boxes of pencils for five fourth grade classes
Each box contains 45 pencils
To find: Number of pencils received by each class
Number of boxes = 22
Number of pencils in each box = 45
The total number of pencils is given as:
Total number of pencils = Number of boxes x Number of pencils in each box
Total number of pencils = 22 x 45 = 990
So, 990 pencils is divided among 5 classes
Number of fourth grade classes = 5
So, the number of pencils each class will receive is,
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{990}{5} = 198[/tex]
Thus 198 pencils is received by each class
