John gives 2/3 of his pencils, P, to Roy and then gives 1/4 of the pencils that he has left to Maria. In terms of P, how many pencils does john now have a. 1/6

b. 1/3

c. 1/4

John's remaining pencils in term of p = p/4

Hence, option 'c' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'p' be the total number of pencils

Given that John gives 2/3 of his pencils = 2/3 of p

                                                                   = 2/3 × p

                                                                    = 2/3 p

Pencils left:

Factor out common term p

Pencils John gave to Maria = 1/4 × p/3 = p/12

The remaining Pencils in terms of 'p' =

Thus, John's remaining pencils in term of p = p/4

Hence, option 'c' is true.

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.
