56*3 = 168
To find the total number of pencils that the office supply company has, we need to multiply the number of pencils they have in stock for each school (56 pencils) by the number of schools in the neighborhood (3 schools).
So, the total number of pencils = 56 pencils/school × 3 schools.
= 168 pencils.
Therefore, the office supply company has 168 pencils in total.
