mollly uses 192 beads to make a necklace and a bracelet. it takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace than it does to make a bracelet. How many beads are used to make the necklace?

230

bracelet = x

Necklace = 5x
x + 5x = 192
6x = 192
6x/6 = 192/6
x = 32

Necklace = 5x = 5(32) = 160

To solve this problem, let's assume that the number of beads used to make the bracelet is x. According to the information given, it takes 5 times as many beads to make a necklace as it does to make a bracelet.

So, the number of beads used to make the necklace would be 5x.

We know that Molly uses a total of 192 beads to make both the necklace and the bracelet.

Therefore, we can write the equation: x + 5x = 192

Combining like terms, we get 6x = 192.

To find the value of x, we need to solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

x = 192 / 6
x = 32

Hence, Molly uses 32 beads to make the bracelet.

To find the number of beads used to make the necklace, we need to multiply the number of beads used to make the bracelet by 5:

Number of beads used to make the necklace = 5 * 32 = 160

Therefore, Molly uses 160 beads to make the necklace.
