Kris can make #12# necklaces.

Explanation:

Kris has #1056# beads.

To make one beaded necklace, Kris needs #88# beads.

So, Kris can make #1056/88# necklaces.

= #(2xx2xx2xx2xx2xx3xx11)/(2xx2xx2xx11)#

= #(cancel2xxcancel2xxcancel2xx2xx2xx3xxcancel11)/(cancel2xxcancel2xxcancel2xxcancel11)#

= #2xx2xx3=12#

Kris/She can make 12 necklaces

Explanation:

Find the total value of beads (I call this the storage value):

= #1056#

Find the value/number of storage value/s that are need to produce/manufacture 1 one #x#:

= #88#

Divide storage value/manufacturing value:

= #1056/88#
= #12#

All the best!
