Pencils come in packages of 10 each. Packages are packed 20 to a box, and boxes are packed 500 to a carton. How many pencils are in a carton?

10 * 20 * 500 = 200 * (1,000/2 )

= 100 * 1,000 = 100,000

So a carton has 500 boxes, a box has 20 packages, a package has 10 pencil.

500*20*10=....

a factory packs pencils into cartons of 100 and into boxes of 10 they an order for 2750 pencils how can they ship the order to the customer in the fewest amount of packages

To determine the number of pencils in a carton, we need to multiply the number of pencils in a package by the number of packages in a box and then multiply that by the number of boxes in a carton.

First, we know that there are 10 pencils in each package. Therefore, there are 10 x 1 = 10 pencils in a package.

Next, we know that there are 20 packages in each box. Therefore, there are 20 x 10 = 200 pencils in a box.

Finally, we know that there are 500 boxes in a carton. Therefore, there are 500 x 200 = 100,000 pencils in a carton.

So, there are 100,000 pencils in a carton.
