Question

Opal wanted to make some necklaces and sell them at a craft store. She made 37 necklaces and each necklace had somewhere between 72 and 77 beads. About how many beads did she use?

Answer 1

The total number of beads used in making 37 necklaces is between 2,664 beads and 2,849 beads.

Explanation:

Here, as given: The number of necklace made by Opal = 37

The least number of bead used in each necklace = 72

So, if each necklace is made using the least number of beads then,

The total number of beads used in 37 necklace = 37 x ( beads in 1 necklace)

= 37 x 72 = 2,664 beads

So, the least number of total beads used in 37 necklaces = 2,664 beads

The highest number of bead used in each necklace = 77

So, if each necklace is made using the highest number of beads then,

The total number of beads used in 37 necklace = 37 x ( beads in 1 necklace)

= 37 x 77 = 2,849 beads

So, if highest number of total beads used in 37 necklaces = 2,849 beads

Hence, the total number of beads used in making 37 necklaces is between 2,664 beads and 2,849 beads.
