Jamie is making a beaded necklace the ratio of blue beads to purple beads is 4:3 if jamie uses 56 blue beads and purple beads to
blsea [12.9K]
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
