Question

Liz is making beaded necklaces. for each necklace, she uses 27 spacers, plus 5 beads per inch of necklace length. write the rule for x in terms of y.

What is the total number of beads and spacers for an 18 inch necklace?


What is the total number of beads and spacers for an 24 inch?

Answer 1

not sure if my rule will be correct, but the equation i would use would be y=27x for the spacers and y=5x for the beads.

for 18 inch: 486 spacers and 90 beads

for 24 inch: 648 spacers and 120 beads
