Avery Pope · Answer 1

Yes, Jim is correct because if you put them into 2 equal groups which is 18/2=9 you get 9, but if you put them into 3 equal groups you get 6 which is 18/3=6, it's less than two equal groups.

Alvaro Brock · Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

18/2>18/3, which means he has less pens in each group
