Ava makes bead bracelets. She has a total of 6,048 beads. each necklace has 24 beads. Her friend Maria says that the greatest number of bracelets she can make with the beads is 162. Explain why Maria's answer is incorrect and how she can find the right answer.

Respuesta :

Each necklace needs 24 beads
Ava has 6,048 beads
To find out how many bracelets she can make we need to see how many time 24 can fit into 6,048 with no remainders
6048 divided by 24 is 252

Maria’s incorrect because to make 162 bracelets you would need 3888 beads because: 162 x 24 = 3888
This is not the greatest amount of bracelets because the are excess beads
