Question

Mila has 2 pencils. Mason has 36 pencils. Mason had how many times as many pencils as Mila

Answer 1

To find out how many times as many pencils Mason has compared to Mila, you can divide the number of pencils Mason has by the number of pencils Mila has.

Mila's pencils = 2
Mason's pencils = 36

Now, divide Mason's pencils by Mila's pencils:

\[
\text{Times} = \frac{\text{Mason's pencils}}{\text{Mila's pencils}} = \frac{36}{2} = 18
\]

Mason has 18 times as many pencils as Mila.
