Hi!

To figure out n, the number of necklaces, we can set up an equation.


102 = 17n

This means that 17 beads per necklace should have a total of 102 beads.

Now, we can solve this equation by isolating the variable.

What we have to do is divide both sides by
17.


102/17 = 17n/17


6 = n

Therefore, with 102 beads Juanita can made 6 necklaces with 17 beads per necklace.
