96 pencils come in a box. if 4 teachers share 3 boxes equally. how many pencils does each teacher receive?

First we need to find the total number of pencils. To do this we multiply the number of pencils per box by the number of boxes.

96*3= 288

Then we need to divide the total number of pencils by the number of teachers to determine how many pencils each teacher will receive.

288/4= 72

When four teachers share three boxes each containing ninety-six pencils they each get seventy-two pencils.
