Answer 1

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,

$\rightarrow \frac{990}{5} = 198$

Thus 198 pencils is received by each class
