Question

A jewelry maker has 24 jade beads and 30 teak beads to make necklaces. Each necklace will have the same numbers of jade beads and teak beads. What is the greatest number of necklaces she can make? how many beads of each type are on each necklace?

Answer 1

A jewelry makes has 24 jade and 30 teak beads.

Find the number of necklace can a jewelry maker make with 24 jade beads and 30 teak beads

=> 8 x 3 = 24

=> 10 x 3 = 30

=> (8 + 10) x 3 = 24 + 30

=> 18 x 3 = 24 + 30

=> 54 + 54

Thus, a jewelry maker can make 3 necklace out of 54 beads.

There will be 8 jade beads in each necklace and 10 teak beads in each necklace. Hope that helps!
