How I i find out the number of beads for the necklace
To find out how many beads are used to make the necklace, we'll first need to determine the number of beads used to make the bracelet.
Let's assume the number of beads used to make the bracelet is 'x'. Given that it takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace as it does to make a bracelet, we can write the equation:
Number of beads for necklace = 5 * Number of beads for bracelet
Substituting the value of 'x' into the equation, we get:
Number of beads for necklace = 5 * x
Now, we know that the total number of beads used for both the necklace and the bracelet is 192. We can write another equation:
Number of beads for necklace + Number of beads for bracelet = Total number of beads used
Substituting the value of '5x' into the equation, we get:
5x + x = 192
Combining like terms:
6x = 192
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 32
Therefore, the number of beads used to make the bracelet is 32.
Now, we can find the number of beads used to make the necklace:
Number of beads for necklace = 5 * Number of beads for bracelet
Number of beads for necklace = 5 * 32
Number of beads for necklace = 160
So, Molly uses 160 beads to make the necklace.
5x = beads in necklace
5x + x = 192
Solve for x, then 5x.
b + 5b = 192
6b = 192
b = 32 beads for a bracelet
