Question

Sybrina wants to make a 17 inch necklace with a 3/4 inch bead, a 1 1/2 inch bead, and another 3/4 inch bead on it. What is the length of the remaining part of the necklace

Answer 1

The length of the remaining part of the necklace will be 14 inch.

Step-by-step explanation

Total length of the necklace is 17 inch.

She wants to make the necklace with a
`(3)/(4)` inch bead, a
`1(1)/(2)` inch bead and another
`(3)/(4)` inch bead on it.

So, the total length of all beads will be.......

`((3)/(4)+ 1(1)/(2)+(3)/(4))inch\\ \\ = ((3)/(4)+(3)/(2)+(3)/(4))inch\\ \\ =((3+6+3)/(4))inch = ((12)/(4))inch = 3 inch`

Thus, the length of the remaining part of the necklace will be:
`(17-3)inch = 14` inch.
