To solve this problem, we first need to determine the number of pencils in each packet. Then, we can calculate how many packets are required for the desired number of pencils.
Calculating Pencils Per Packet
Given that there are 96 pencils in total distributed equally across 12 packets, we can find the number of pencils per packet using division:
Pencils per packet = Total Pencils / Total Packets
Pencils per packet = $96 \div 12$
Pencils per packet = $8$
So, each packet contains 8 pencils.
Calculating Required Packets
Now, we need to find out how many packets are needed to have 304 pencils, knowing that each packet contains 8 pencils. We use division again:
Required Packets = Required Pencils / Pencils per packet
Required Packets = $304 \div 8$
Required Packets = $38$
Therefore, 38 packets will be required to obtain 304 pencils.
