I apologize for providing incorrect information previously. Let's start again.

In each bag, Mr. Moretti puts m mechanical pencils and twice as many, which means 2m, regular pencils. Therefore, the total number of pencils in each bag is m + 2m = 3m.

Since each student receives a bag, the total number of pencils Mr. Moretti gives to his students is 18 * 3m, which simplifies to 54m.

So, the correct expression would be 54m. Thank you for your patience.

Answer 4

What is the total number of pencils Mr. Moretti gives to his students if he puts 3 mechanical pencils in each bag?

Answer 5

If Mr. Moretti puts 3 mechanical pencils in each bag, then he puts 3 regular pencils in each bag because it is three times the number of mechanical pencils. Thus, the total number of pencils in each bag is 3 mechanical pencils + 3 regular pencils = 6 pencils.

Since each student receives a bag, the total number of pencils Mr. Moretti gives to his students is 18 students x 6 pencils per student = 108 pencils.

Therefore, the total number of pencils Mr. Moretti gives to his students if he puts 3 mechanical pencils in each bag is 108 pencils.
