Answer:

Gemma made $34 more than Leah.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gemma made number of beaded necklaces = 106

Leah made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.

Leah made number of beaded necklaces = 106 + 39 = 145

a. There are 104 beads on each necklace.

The total number of beads used altogether

= (106 × 104) + (145 × 104)

= 11,024 + 15,080

= 26,104

b. Gemma sold her 106 necklaces for = $14

Total price of her necklaces = 106 × 14

= $1,484

Leah sold her 145 necklaces for = $10

Total price of her necklaces = 145 × 10

= $1,450

Difference in Gemma and Leah's amount = 1484 - 1450 = $34.00

Therefore, Gemma made $34.00 more money than Leah.

We have been given that Maria put trim around a banner that is the shape of a triangle. Each side is 21 inches long.

The amount of trim will be equal to perimeter of triangle. The perimeter of given triangle will be 3 times each side length that is $3\times 21=63$ inches.

Now we need to convert 63 inches into feet.

12 inches = 1 feet

63 inches = $\frac{63}{12}$ feet = 5.25 feet.

We are also told that Maria has $\frac{3}{4}$ foot of trim left, so total length of trim would be trim used plus trim left that is $5.25+\frac{3}{4}=5.25+0.75=6$ feet.
