Maria has 14 pencils, Ted has 9 pencils, Tom has 12 pencils, Lucinda has 13 pencils, and Jumana has 12 pencils. How can they redistribute the pencils so that they all have the same amount? How many pencils should each person have?

You can add all the pencil's up and that gets 60 then divide by 5 and you get 12.

So everyone will get 12 pencils

HEY THERE !!

GIVEN :- Maria has 14 pencils, Ted has 9 pencils, Tom has 12 pencils, Lucinda has 13 pencils, and Jumana has 12 pencils.

The sum of all pencils are 60 and the number of persons are 5 .

So 60/5= 12
The no. of pencil which every person has after redistribution is 12 .

HOPE IT HELPED YOU.
