Question

13.
Tiziana uses 6 inches of wire to make a necklace and 3 inches of wire to make a
bracelet. If she uses 472 inches of wire in all, how many necklace and bracelet sets can
she make?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  52

Step-by-step explanation:

Each necklace and bracelet set will use ...

  necklace + bracelet = 6 in + 3 in = 9 in

So, the number of sets that can be made is ...

  (472 in)/(9 in/set) = 52 4/9 sets

Tiziana can make 52 complete necklace and bracelet sets.
