Question

Zoe has 1500 beads. She wants to make 6 friendship bracelets. She needs 215 beads for each bracelet. How many beads will Zoe have left after making all six of the bracelets? explain

Answer 1

First you would need to find out how many beads are needed for the bracelets.

215 beads per bracelet x 6 bracelets = 1290 beads

This tells us that to make all 6 bracelets, it will use up 1290 beads, now subtract that from your total number of beads.

1500-1290= 210

So Zoe will have 210 beads left over. Since this is a word problem, it is best to answer it in the same format:

Zoe will use 1290 beads to make 6 friendship bracelets. After all of the bracelets are made, she will have 210 beads left over.

hope this helps!
