Question

Gineva is making a necklace out of beads. She has 8 beads that are each 3 centimeters long. Halfway though, she loses 2 beads. How long is Gineva’s necklace now?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, Gineva had 8 beads that were each 3 centimetrs long, so the total length of her necklace was 8 * 3 = 24 centimetrs.

Halfway through, she loses 2 beads, so the number of beads she has left is 8 - 2 = 6 beads.

The length of the necklace now is 6 * 3 = 18 centimetrs.
