If we assume Jackie made the same number of beaded bracelets each day, we can divide the total number of bracelets 96, by the amount of days it took to make all the bracelets, 8. This gives us
=12
We can check the answer by working backwards. Each day 12 bracelets were made. There were 8 days. 12
×
8
=
96
. So for 8 days 12 bracelets were made giving Jackie 96 bracelets.
Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!
