Question

Ellen is making jewelry sets that contain a bracelet and a pair of earrings. Each bracelet uses 3 times as many beads as one earring. Each bracelet uses 3 as times as many beads as one earring . Ellen uses 13 beads for each earring. How many beads does Ellen need to make one jewelry set?

Answer 1

So there are a pair of earrings and a Bracelet.

It's given that the Bracelet uses 3 times the number of beads that's used in making a single earring.

It's also given that one single earing has 13 beads. So a single bracelet would have (3×13) beads .... and that's equal to 39.

Making a single set of jewellery needs a pair of earrings and a Bracelet.

So total number of required beads will be =

39 + 13 + 13 = 65
