Question

Erica makes necklaces from beads. Each necklace consists of blue, white and green beads in the ratio of 6 : 4: 1 One necklace needs to have 44 beads. How many of each type of bead is needed to make the necklace?

Answer 1

Answer:

For one Necklace you would need...

24 blue beads.

16 white beads.

4 green beads.

Ratio: 24: 16: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you quadruple the amount of beads from the original amount (6 : 4: 1), the total beads for that necklace will be 44.

Step 1: 6 x 4 = 24 (amount of blue beads in necklace).

Step 2: 4 x 4 = 16 (amount of white beads in necklace).

Step 3: 1 x 4 = 4 (amount of green beads in necklace).

Now check to see if the total of all types of beads sum up to 44:

Step 4: 24 + 16 + 4 = 44

______________-

There is your answer:

You need 24 blue beads, 16 white beads, and 4 green beads to have a total sum of 44 beads in that one necklace.
