Question

HELP ME PLZ!!!! An artist follows this formula for making a special tricolored bracelet: 8 orange beads + 3 red beads + 4 green beads + 1 string → 1 bracelet How many special tricolored bracelets could be formed from 15 orange beads, 86 red beads, 92 green beads, and 17 pieces of string? 1 bracelet 10 bracelets 17 bracelets 23 bracelets

Answer 1

1 bracelet

Step-by-step explanation:

8 orange beads + 3 red beads + 4 green beads + 1 string = 1 bracelet

15 orange beads + 86 red beads + 92 green beads + 17 string = ?

For 1 bracelet the artist needs 8 orange beads. To make two, the artist would need 16 orange beads, but the artist only has 15.

Therefore, the artist can only make 1 bracelet.

Answer 2

1 bracelet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For one bracelet: 8 orange, 3 red, 4 green, 1 string.

The artist has: 15 orange, 86 red, 92 green, 17 string.

No matter how much of the red and green beads she has, if she only has 15 pieces of orange beads, that will only allow her to make 1 bracelet.
