Question

Sally is making necklaces and bracelets for the craft fair. a necklace uses 16 beads, and a bracelet uses 27 beads. sally wants to make twice as many bracelets as necklaces, and she wants to use up all of her 910 beads. how many of each should she make?

Answer 1

Sally can make 26 bracelets and 13 necklaces.

Explanation:

necklace = 16 beads

bracelet = 27

(twice as many bracelets as necklaces)

total = 910 beads

27*26 = 702 beads (26 bracelets)

16*13 = 208 beads (13 necklaces)

702+208 = 910
