Question

Natalie had 64 beads. She used 24 beads to make a bracelet. She used 7/8 of the remaining beads to make a necklace. How many beads does Natalie have left?​

Answer 1

Natalie have left with 5 beads.

Explanation:

Given:

Natalie had 64 beads. She used 24 beads to make a bracelet. She used 7/8 of the remaining beads to make a necklace.

Now, to find the beads does Natalie have left.

Total beads Natalie had = 64 beads.

And beads she used to make a bracelet = 24 beads.

So, the remaining beads are =
`64-24=40\ beads.`

Now, the beads she used to make a necklace =
`40 of (7)/(8)`

=
`40* (7)/(8)`

=
`(280)/(8)`

=
`35\ beads`

Hence, the beads Natalie have left = remaining beads - beads used to make necklace.

`The\ beads\ Natalie\ have\ left\ =\ 40-35`

`The\ beads\ Natalie\ have\ left\ =\ 5\ beads.`

Therefore, Natalie have left with 5 beads.
