To find the least number of necklaces Jane can make without having any ribbons or pendants left over, we need to determine the limiting factor—the item that will run out first.
Since Jane uses one pendant for each necklace, the number of necklaces she can make will be limited by the number of pendants available. In this case, there are 6 pendants.
To find the least number of necklaces, we divide the total number of pendants by the number of pendants used for each necklace. So, 6 pendants divided by 1 pendant per necklace gives us 6 necklaces.
However, we still need to consider the ribbons. If there are only 10 ribbons available and Jane needs a ribbon for each necklace, then the number of necklaces will be further limited by the number of ribbons.
In this case, since there are only 6 necklaces, which is less than the number of ribbons (10), the number of necklaces Jane can make is limited by the number of ribbons.
Therefore, the least number of necklaces Jane can make without having any ribbons or pendants left over is 6 necklaces.
