Question

A jewelry maker has 24 jade beads and 30 teak beads. What is the greatest number of necklaces she can make? How many beads of each type are on each necklace?

Answer 1

In the given situation, a jewelry maker has the following:
=> 24 jade beads
=> 30 teak beads
Now, how many necklace can a jewelry maker make with this number of beads.
=> 24 + 30 = 54
=> (8 x 3) + (10 x 3) = 54
=> (8 + 10) x 3 = 54
=> 18 x 3 = 54
=> 54 = 54
Thus, the number of necklace is 3 with 8 jade and 10 teak beads in it.
