I took 18 pencils from the box. this is equivalent to 2/5 of the total number of pencils. How many pencils were there in the box originally. Show your work.

45 pencils were in the box originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose there were x pencils in the box originally. Since 18 pencils is equal to 2/5 of the total number of pencils in the box originally, set 18 equal to 2/5x or

18=2/5x

Now solve

x = 18x5/2 = 45

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
