Answer:

she is incorrect because the actual amount of necklaces she can make is 252 and you get that by dividing 6048 with 24

The correct answer would be 252. To find how many necklaces Ava could make you would divide the total beads (6048) by how much it takes to make a necklace (24), 6048/48 = 252
Hope this helps!
