During a sale, colour pencils were being sold in packs of 24 each and crayons in packs of 32 each. How many of each would you need to buy?

To determine how many packs of color pencils and crayons you would need to buy, we first need to consider how many items you intend to have. The number of packs you require will depend on the total quantity of each item you wish to own.

If we take a specific example: let’s say you want a total of 72 color pencils. Since each pack contains 24 pencils, you simply divide the total by the number of pencils per pack: 72 ÷ 24 = 3. This means you would buy 3 packs of color pencils.

For crayons, if you want a total of 64 crayons, with 32 crayons in each pack, you would do the same calculation: 64 ÷ 32 = 2. Thus, you would need to buy 2 packs of crayons.

In summary, your actual quantities may vary based on your needs, but by dividing your desired total by the number of items per pack, you can easily determine how many packs to purchase.
