Answer 1

Answer:8

Explanation:

Given

Jeweler has 36 inches of silver chain.

She needs 5 times that much to make some necklaces i.e
`5* 36=180 inches`

She needs 3 times that much amount to make some bracelets i.e.
`3* 36=108 inches`

Length of a silver chain =36 inches

Total chain required
`=(180+108)/(36)=(288)/(36)=8`

Therefore he needs 8 chains to make necklace and bracelets
