Question

Ms.Carmine is making a necklace using small beads. For every red bead that she uses, she adds 6 black beads and 9 green beads. If she used 48 black beads, how many red beads and how many green beads does Ms.Carmine use?

Answer 1

8 red beads, 72 green beads

Explanation:

1 = x

6 = 48

9 = x

to get from 6 to 48 you multiply by 8 so do that for 1 and 9 to get the answer

1 · 8 = 8

9 · 8 = 72, 72+8 = 80
