You are making a necklace that is 9 inches long. You use 6 beads for each inch. What integer is the change in your supply of beads after making the necklace?(negative answer)
6*9 = 54
so
-54 beads
-54
To find the change in your supply of beads after making the necklace, we need to determine the total number of beads used to make the necklace first.
Given that you used 6 beads for each inch, and the necklace is 9 inches long, you can multiply the number of beads used per inch (6) by the length of the necklace (9) to find the total number of beads used.
6 beads/inch x 9 inches = 54 beads
Therefore, you used a total of 54 beads to make the necklace.
Now, if we assume that you started with a certain supply of beads, let's say X beads, and after making the necklace, you used 54 beads, we can express the change in your supply of beads as:
Change in supply = Initial supply of beads - Beads used to make the necklace
Since the question asks for a negative answer, it means that your initial supply of beads should be larger than 54.
Let's say your initial supply of beads is 70 beads. Calculating the change in supply:
Change in supply = 70 beads - 54 beads = 16 beads (positive value)
However, to get a negative answer, your initial supply of beads should be less than 54.
Let's say your initial supply of beads is 40 beads. Calculating the change in supply:
Change in supply = 40 beads - 54 beads = -14 beads (negative value)
Therefore, if your initial supply of beads is 40 beads, the change in your supply of beads after making the necklace would be -14 beads, which is a negative answer.
