So it takes Layla 56 minutes to make 9 ( 45 divided by 9 = 5) so that means in 20 minutes Layla will make 4 bracelets.

this means it will piece together as Layla would make 4 while Amelia makes 5. So i think on Amelia's own it'll take her 40 minutes.

so sorry if i'm wrong :(

Answer:

Explanation:

It takes Layla 45 minutes to make 9 bracelets on her own.

45 divided by 9 equals 5. It takes Layla 5 minutes to make one bracelet.

Layla and Amelia can make 9 bracelets in 20 minutes.

20 divided by 9 equals 2 and 2/9.

5 - 2 2/9= 2 7/9

2 7/9 times 9 equals 25

Amelia can make 9 bracelets in 25 minutes
