Question

To make a beaded necklace, Kris need 88 beads. If Kris has 1,056 beads, how many necklaces can she make?

Answer 1

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`

Answer 2

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!
