Since there are 180 yellow beads already, you have to double that number, which gives you 360 yellow beads. Now you need to add all the beads together since the question specifically asks how many packets she will make if she fills each packet with 60 beads, meaning all the beads. Adding all of the beads together gets you 895 beads. Divide this number by 60, which gets you 14.916 (This number has a repeating decimal, 6). Since the number is a decimal, we can only say that she will make 14 packets.
