Answer:

Option (1). 6 inches

Explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Tony needs 16-inch pieces of gold chain to make each of 3 necklaces. He has a piece of chain that is 4 1/2 feet long. How much chain will he have left after making the necklaces ?

Tony has a piece of chain = 4.5 feet long

≈ 4.5 × 12 inches

≈ 54 inches

Number of necklaces Tony wants to make = 3

Length of every piece of gold chain required for one necklace = 16 inches

Total length of gold chain required for 3 necklaces = 3 × 16 inches

= 48 inches

Length of remaining chain = 54 - 48 = 6 inches

Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.
