Answer 1

Given that an artist uses 8 orange beads, 3 red beads, 4 green beads and 1 string for making a special tricolored bracelet.

Given that there are 15 orange beads, 86 red beads, 92 green beads, and 17 pieces of string, the number of special tricolored bracelets that can be made is 1.

This is because, since 8 orange beads is needed for the special tricolored bracelets and there are only 15 orange beads the available, there will only be 7 orange beads left for the second tricolored bracelet.
