To find the number of bracelets Mary makes in total, we need to calculate the time Mary spends making bracelets and then divide it by the time it takes her to make one bracelet.
First, let's calculate the total time Mary spends making bracelets:
Before lunch: 3 hours
After lunch: 2 hours
Therefore, Mary spends a total of 3 + 2 = 5 hours making bracelets.
Next, we need to calculate the number of bracelets she makes in one hour. Since Mary spends 1/6 hour to make one bracelet, we can calculate how many bracelets she makes in one hour by dividing 1 by 1/6:
Bracelets made in 1 hour = 1 / (1/6) = 6 bracelets
Now, we can calculate the total number of bracelets Mary makes by multiplying the number of bracelets she makes in one hour by the total hours she spends making bracelets:
Total number of bracelets = Bracelets made in 1 hour × Total hours spent making bracelets
Total number of bracelets = 6 bracelets × 5 hours
Total number of bracelets = 30 bracelets
Therefore, Mary makes a total of 30 bracelets.
