1. Each class would have 105 pencils with 2 remaining

2. x = 114 persons

3. 912 marbles

4. 27 children

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If Miss Johnson has 737 new pencils and wants to share them out

equally between the 7 classes, how many would each class get?

Are there any left over?

Let the number of pencils = x

7 × x = 737 pencils

x = 737/7

x = 105 2/7 pencils

Therefore, each class would have 735 pencils, with a remainder of 2 pencils

2. A tour driver has £342 at the end of his shift, if all tickets were £3, how

many people have ridden on his tour today?

Let the number of people = x

£3 × x = £342

x = £342/£3

x = 114 persons

3. 24 children all collect marbles. They each have 38 marbles.

How many do they have in total?

The total number of marbles is calculated as:

1 child = 38 marbles

24 children = x

x = 24 × 38 marbles

x = 912 marbles

4. There are 135 children in a school and 5 houses. How many

children are in each house?

5 houses = 135 children

1 house = x children

5x = 135 children

x = 135/5

x = 27 children
