Answer:

9/8 of a bag

she doesn't have enough beads.

Explanation:

Bag of bead poppy has = 1

Bag of bead needed for necklace 1 = 3/8 of a bag

Bag of bead needed for necklace 2 = 1/8 of a bag

Bag of bead needed for necklace 3 = 5/8 of a bag

Total bag of beads needed = 3/8 + 1/8 + 5/8

= (3+1+5)/8

= 9/8

She needs 9/8 of a bag of bead

9/8 = 1 1/8

Therefore, she doesn't have enough beads.
