Question

10 beads fit on a bracelet. Ben has 34 beads in all. How many bracelets can he make with 10 beads on each

Answer 1

Answer:

3 with a remainder of 4 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to put 10 beads on each bracelet but you only have 34 beads you are going to do subtraction (this is division but subtraction is the easiest way to explain it) so you have 34 bead and that’s more than 10 so you can make a bracelet so subtract 10 from 34, so now you have 24 beads and one bracelet, now 24 is greater than 10 so subtract again, 24-10 which is 14 so now you have 14 beads and 2 bracelets and 14 is greater than 10 so we can make another, 14-10 is 4 so now you have 4 beads and 3 bracelets now 4 is less than 10 so you can’t make another (hope this helps)
