Question

Faye is making bead necklaces. She has 243 beads . Faye makes 51 with the same amount of beads on each necklace. How many beads does she have left over to make bracelets? What is the strategy? And how are you going to estimate?

Answer 1

Faye has 243 beads.

She uses 51 for each necklace.

243/51 = 4.7...

243-51-51-51-51=39.

She can make 4 necklaces, with an extra of 39 beads.

Answer 2

Yes she can make 4 bracelets out of 39 beads left
