Explanation
To find out how many pencils were shared out, we can use the fact that the total number of pencils is divided into parts in the ratio 2:3:5.If Bisi got 2 parts and the number of pencils Bisi got is 5, then we can find the total number of parts as follows:2 parts = 51 part = 5 / 2 = 2.5Now, to find the total number of pencils, we add up the parts in the ratio:2 parts + 3 parts + 5 parts = 10 partsSo, the total number of pencils shared out is:10 parts * 2.5 = 25Therefore, 25 pencils were shared out.
