They can redistribute the pencils so that they all have the same amount of pencils by finding the average.

Each person gets an average of 12 pencils

Given:

Maria = 14 pencils

Ted = 9 pencils

Tom = 12 pencils

Lucinda = 13 pencils

Jumana = 12 pencils

Total pencils = 14 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 12

= 90 pencils

Number of people = Maria + Ted + Tom + Lucinda + Jumana

= 5 people

Average of pencils = Total pencils + Number of people

= 90 ÷ 5

= 12 pencils per person.

Therefore, each person gets an average of 12 pencils
