Part 2
Mrs. Armstrong and Mr. Teng, the other two fth-grade teachers, want
to share the supplies with their classes as well. Unfortunately, they didn’t
order nearly as many pencils and pens as Mr. Burton. They decide to put all
of the pencils that were ordered together and divide the pencils between the
3 classrooms evenly. Each classroom has the same number of students and
altogether there are 1,152 pencils and 216 pens.
