Answer 2

24 links.

Explanation:

You want to hang a chandelier over a table.

It is given that ceiling is 10 foot high. The light should be 6 feet from the floor.

10 - 6 = 4 feet from the ceiling.

4 feet = 48 inches.

The fixture is 18 inches high. So chain would be = 48 - 18 = 30 inches

If each link is
`1(1)/(4)` inches or 1.25 inches.

For 30 inches chain, number of links would be = 30 ÷ 1.25 = 24 links.

24 links are used in the chain.
