Question

Evelyn has 16 pink beads and 32 purple beads to make identical bracelets. She puts a half as many pink beads as purple beads on each bracelet, and she uses all of the beads.

a) 4
b) 8
c) 16
d) 32

Answer 1

Evelyn can make 4 identical bracelets using 16 pink beads and 32 purple beads. Hence the correct answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Evelyn has a total of 16 + 32 = 48 beads. Since the number of pink beads is half the number of purple beads, she has 32 / 2 = 16 pink beads. This means she can make 16 identical bracelets, each with 16 pink beads and 32 purple beads. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 4.
