She will use 42 purple beads.
Explanation
We will use a proportion to solve this.
The ratio of blue to purple beads is 4:3, or 4/3.
We know she uses 56 blue beads and an unknown amount, x, of purple beads. This gives us 56/x.
Together, we have
4/3 = 56/x
Cross multiply:
4*x = 3*56
4x = 168
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 168/4
x = 42
