ms.goldfarb has 12 turqoise beads and 3 times as many amber beads. she is making 8 pins with the same number of beads on each pin. how many beads will be on a pin?
12 turquoise and 3*12 = 36 amber beads.
12 + 36 = 48 total beads
48/8 = ?
12x3=36+12=48/8=6
To find out the number of beads on each pin, we need to calculate the total number of beads and then divide it by the number of pins.
First, let's determine the total number of amber beads. We know that Ms. Goldfarb has 3 times as many amber beads as turquoise beads, and since she has 12 turquoise beads, she must have 3 * 12 = 36 amber beads.
Now, let's calculate the total number of beads by summing up the turquoise and amber beads: 12 + 36 = 48 beads in total.
Since Ms. Goldfarb is making 8 pins, we can divide the total number of beads by the number of pins to find out how many beads will be on each pin: 48 / 8 = 6 beads on each pin.
Therefore, there will be 6 beads on each pin.
