Answer :
Answer: D) 968
Step-by-step explanation:
48 x 24 = 1152 (total pencils)
8 x 23 = 184 (total pencils given to all 23 students)
1152 - 184 = 968 (extra pencils)
Answer:
The answer is 968
Step-by-step explanation:
First we know that there are 48 boxes with 24 pencils in each box so we must multiply (48x24=1,152) as shown this gives us 1,152 pencils. We also know that that teacher has 28 students and wants to give them each 8 pencils, so we multiply again (28x8=184). Now we know that Mrs. Patterson has to give 184 of her pencils to her students, so we subtract 184 from the total amount of pencils she has (1152-184=968) Which gives us the answer, 968.
