Jay has 6200 beads. He is making a bracelet with nine beads each. How many bracelets can he make? How many beads will be left?
To find out how many bracelets Jay can make, we divide the total number of beads by the number of beads needed for each bracelet:
6200 beads / 9 beads per bracelet = 688 bracelets
Jay can make 688 bracelets in total.
To find out how many beads will be left, we subtract the number of beads used for the bracelets from the total number of beads Jay has:
688 bracelets x 9 beads per bracelet = 6192 beads used
6200 beads - 6192 beads = 8 beads left
Jay will have 8 beads left after making 688 bracelets.
