Question

Alyson has 46 beads to make bracelets. Each bracelets has 5 beads. How many more beads does Alyson need so that all the beads she has are used? Explain.

Answer 1

she can make 9 full bracelets.
46 ➗ 5= 9r1

5-1=4. she needs 4 more beads so all of them will be used

Answer 2

First decide the remainder of how many beads she has left over after she makes as many bracelets as she can.
46/5=9 and 1/5
So the remainder 1/5 means that she has 1 bead left over after making 9 bracelets.
So to finish all her beads and make her final bracelet, she needs 5-1 or 4 more beads to finish all of her beads.
Hope this helps.
