Answer:

42 rings

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the bracelet to ring is 5:2, we can write the following equation


\frac{Bracelets}{\text{ rings}}=(5)/(2)=(105)/(x)

Where x is the number of rings that she has. So, we have the equation:


(5)/(2)=(105)/(x)

If we cross multiply, we get


\begin{gathered} 5x=105(2) \\ 5x=210 \end{gathered}

Finally, divide by 5


\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(210)/(5) \\ x=42 \end{gathered}

Therefore, she has 42 rings
